Schumi's people deny Merc talks

Michael Schumacher's spokesperson Sabine Kehmn has denied reports that the German is talking with Mercedes GP about a possible comeback next season.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Mercedes, who recently purchased a 75.1 percent stake in Brawn GP, are keen on Schumacher joining them for next year's Championship.

'Talks are understood to be at an early stage,' claimed the Daily Telegraph.

However, Schumacher's spokesperson says that while a link up between the seven-time World Champion, the German car manufacturer and Ross Brawn would be a fairytale story, there has been no talk of it.

"The whole story with Mercedes is a beautiful one with so many things fitting together with Michael and Ross, but it is a full season next year and there are no negotiations going on," Kehm told The Times.

However, Kehm did give Schumacher fans a glimmer of hope when asked the same question by The Guardian. "You can never say never in this sport but to me it is highly unlikely at the moment."
