Schumacher could BUY Toro Rosso - Weber
Interesting... if Weber says "Schumacher will never run Ferrari, why would he want the stress"....well, surely running the whole of Toro Rosso would be stressfull for him as Schueys undeniable commitment, passion and hard work would mean he would want to succeed/win - Lets see, hey:

Schumacher and Weber planning something?
Michael Schumacher's manager has hinted that the retired seven time world champion might buy a team.
38-year-old Schumacher is already an advisor for Ferrari, but he could be eyeing up a stake in F1's other Italian based team - Scuderia Toro Rosso.
"Perhaps we will go and ask a billionaire if he wants to sell us his spare team," the newspaper AZ quoted Schumacher's long time associate Willi Weber - who already runs a team in the A1GP series - as saying.
Alongside former Grand Prix winner Gerhard Berger, Toro Rosso - formerly the Minardi squad - is owned by Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz, who has been ranked 287th on Forbes magazine's list of billionaires in 2007.
Weber added: "I don't know it for sure, but I could imagine that Michael buys a team. But he is never going to be Ferrari's team boss."
"All that responsibility, work and stress - why would Michael Schumacher want to do that? But if he owned a team, it would be a different task."

I somehow can't see Michael being just a team owner or shareholder - he would surely want to have a hands-on role in any operation. Before commiting himself to a project, he would also like to be sure that it was going to work.
This latest report could just be a flight of fancy from Willi Weber, or then again maybe he's putting feelers out on behalf of Schumi...

he certainly got what it takes to be a successful F1 teamboss, plenty of money and a vast amount of relevant experience. Plus he is a workocholic and professionalist.
Fact of a matter, I cant think of anyone who would make a better boss/owner/key figure in an F1 team. And its safe to guess that only creme-de-la-creme talents would stand a chance in his team which would be great for the sport

If he runs a team I´d like to see it.
After seeing what Prost did, It would be nice to have a successful driver becoming a successful leader.Cuando el grajo vuela bajo hace un frío del carajo

Schumacher might fall prey to the same problem which afflicts great sportspeople who try to become managers or coaches. They become frustrated by those who have less ability than they had. I wonder whether Michael has the mentality to overcome this obstacle. It would be fascinating to see.
