Ecclestone could see Ralf return to Formula 1

10 March 2008

Formula 1 Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone believes Toyota is to be blamed for the early end to Ralf Schumacher's career in Formula 1. According to Ecclestone Toyota was unable to give Ralf the right car to show his talent.

"Ralf has a lot of racing talent," Ecclestone told German newspaper Bild. "But Ralf was not consistent enough in Formula 1. If he was racing at a team like McLaren or Ferrari, he would still be in Formula One I think, but he was with a team that was just not good enough.

"At Toyota it is very difficult for a driver like Ralf to show the right things, but I can imagine seeing him return to Formula One again," said Ecclestone.
