Ferrari boss pours scorn on rumours

Apr.18 (GMM) Jean Todt has dismissed suggestions that media speculation will shortly 'compel' Ferrari to unveil its F1 driver lineup for 2007.

It is now strongly rumoured and widely reported that Kimi Raikkonen is poised to join Michael Schumacher in a super-team pairing -- with a possible announcement due in Imola.

''We will determine when we make something public,'' the French principal told 'Neuen Zurcher Zeitung' newspaper.

''Anyway, people are never content,'' Todt said.

''They always want more. If we announced tomorrow that Michael will stay with Ferrari for ten more years, then everyone would start asking 'And what happens after that?' ''

Todt played down the press reports, which are also suggesting that veteran Schumacher, 37, might leave the red team for Renault.

He said: ''I don't believe newspaper reports. (The Schumacher-Renault story) is so stupid that I will not react at all.''
