The 2007 Jigsaw
With a single statement regarding engine supply for 2007, Ferrari Managing Director Jean Todt may well have revealed that Michael Schumacher has absolutely no intention of retiring at season's end - whether he wins an eighth title or not.
Some background: Kimi Raikkonen, fed up with McLaren's inability to supply consistently reliable equipment, is widely tipped to be heading for Maranello at season's end, but only if the present incumbent, who is thought to have right of veto over his teammate, hangs up his red helmet.
Should the German, though, decide to stay on at Ferrari - as seems increasingly likely - and bombs Kimi as 2007 running mate, the Finn has two options: stay at McLaren and risk more of the same frustration, or move to Renault, where Fernando Alonso's present berth potentially awaits him.
