Ralf Schumacher's manager, Hans Mahr, has clarified the German's contract situation with Toyota, admitting that a deal has not yet been secured for 2008.
"There is obviously an agenda to confuse some things here," says Mahr. "Allow me to clarify: Ralf's Toyota contract expires at the end of the year and we are in contact with the management all the time.
"However, we agreed with Toyota quite some time ago, that we would get together to talk about an extension towards the middle of the year," he continues. "And we are sticking to this schedule.
"Ralf is one of the best Formula One drivers in the world. There is no need to worry about his future. If he wants to drive there will always be a cockpit waiting for him," concludes Mahr.
