Michael Schumacher has admitted he is still weighing up an offer to stay with Mercedes in 2013 in a non-driving role.
The seven time world champion’s race cockpit next year and beyond will be filled by Lewis Hamilton.
Schumacher is quoted by Sport Bild: "There is certainly the option to continue working with Mercedes.
"After the season, we will sit down and discuss whether it makes sense for both sides," added the 43-year-old.
