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."
