Schumacher to keep advisory role at Ferrari

Michael Schumacher has said he will continue to work for Ferrari's Formula 1 team as the team's advisor. Speaking at Sunday's Race of Champions he said he enjoyed the job while spending time with his family.

Speaking to Sky TV Schumacher said: ""I have to say very interesting things have opened up for me," he said. "Being together with my family is one particular thing that I have enjoyed the most because the school holidays are fixed and those were the only times when we could have vacations together.

"It's nice to be home for them because usually I was testing, travelling, racing and doing events and usually planning for the holidays was always rather a compromise so these are the most beautiful moments that we can spend together. In the future I don't know but right now I am going to stay in my advisory role for Ferrari. I am quite happy in this role and I want to be a happy family father and enjoy life."
