Alain Prost has admitted he can imagine former rival Michael Schumacher extending his career into a twentieth season in 2013.<\/p>\n
When asked about Schumacher’s deliberations now that he has been ousted by Mercedes, Frenchman Prost answered: “I was not particularly positive when he returned (in 2010).\u00a0 I don’t quite understand why.<\/p>\n
“Maybe he’s going to Sauber now?” the quadruple world champion told RMC Sport, after testing a modern Red Bull F1 car at the Renault World Series event at Paul Ricard.<\/p>\n
“It’s a very personal choice,” continued Prost, who ended his career with a fourth drivers’ championship in 1993.<\/p>\n
“I can understand that he is passionate and wants to continue driving, and it’s very difficult to judge from the outside.\u00a0 Everyone should live their life as they wish.<\/p>\n
“I can understand his position.\u00a0 But at some point, you have to decide it’s enough.”<\/p>\n
Asked what Schumacher’s biggest contribution to F1 is these days, Prost answered: “Passion in its purest form.\u00a0 It’s pretty amazing to see someone at that level.<\/p>\n
“He drives for pleasure, on the bikes, go-karts … it’s to his credit.”<\/p>\n
Eddie Jordan, who gave Schumacher his first F1 seat in 1991, thinks Sauber could be a good option for Schumacher.<\/p>\n
“I think it could make sense,” he told Welt newspaper, “because the situation there is completely different.<\/p>\n
“I imagine he would have the chance to live out his passion with a competitive car but also in a small racing team, with a much more intimate atmosphere than a global group like Mercedes.<\/p>\n
“It could be just right for him,” added Jordan.<\/p>\n
