Di Montezemolo says Schuey could go and race for Mercedes if he wished

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has said he would release Michael Schumacher from his Ferrari contract if he wants to drive for the Mercedes GP team.

Speaking to the Reuters news agency, di Montezemolo also added that, although he had not yet discussed the issue with Schumacher, his contract with Ferrari was "not binding".

The Ferrari boss's comments came after reports in the German media over the weekend suggested Schumacher could be heading to Mercedes and the seat vacated by World Champion Jenson Button in a one-year deal, rumoured to be worth as much as £20 million.
