Michael Schumacher - Willi, Ralf Split Has Nothing to Do with Me
Michael Schumacher has distanced himself from the bombshell that younger brother Ralf fired their common F1 manager.
Seven time world champion Michael, 36, clarified this week that his relationship with both Ralf and 62-year-old Willi Weber would not change.
''I have never questioned mine and Willi's cooperation,'' Schumacher told Sport Bild.

''The fact that Willi and Ralf have ended their cooperation has nothing to do with me.''
Meanwhile, the curious German media has been warned off the story by Ralf Schumacher, whose 1997 F1 debut for Jordan was engineered by Weber. He also negotiated Ralf's hugely lucrative Williams and Toyota contracts.
''Willi Weber and I have agreed not only to end our cooperation,'' Ralf said, ''but to not publicly discuss it.''
It was reported earlier in 2005 that Guido Piedade had started working with Ralf as a sort of co-manager with Weber.
Piedade told the 'SID' agency: ''Ralf has been in F1 long enough to make do without Mr Weber.'' 'Bild' newspaper speculated that a multi-million 'buyout' figure had passed from Ralf to Weber.
''I am no longer a young man,'' Weber - who said he would not try to replace Ralf with another F1 client - conceded.
''If I find myself with more spare time, that's a good thing.''
