German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz and seven-time Formula World Champion, Michael Schumacher today announced a long-term partnership which will extend far beyond motorsport and F1.
Michael Schumacher will mainly be involved with topics relating to the future, in particular the further development of the Mercedes-Benz safety and comfort systems "Intelligent Drive", and represent them as an ambassador.
For many years now Schumacher has been working on road safety; as a partner he will from now on be supporting Mercedes-Benz's involvement in this field.
"The future interests me much more than the present and past. During my Formula 1 time I always believed that you must not allow yourself to rest on your laurels, but that you must continuously try to improve,” said Schumacher of the new partnership in a press release.
“In so doing I was very often able to rely on the help of all the technologies available to me in the car and use them to my advantage. That is why I am a declared supporter of driving assistance systems both in the racing car and in the road-going car".
Michael Schumacher will be making his first appearance as a partner of Mercedes-Benz together with Dr. Dieter Zetsche May 1st, 2013 at 'Handelsblatt PATHFINDER - The future starts today'.
