Michael Schumacher says he and Ferrari have finally  decided what his role at 
the Italian squad will be following his retirement from  racing. 
The seven-time world champion, who stopped racing at the  end of 2006, will 
be in charge of developing cars for Gestione Sportiva -  Ferrari's motor racing 
division. 
Schumacher has tested for Ferrari a few times since he  retired, and the 
German says he will do it again in order to help the Italian  squad with their 
new 
F1 car. 
"It took us a bit of time to establish, but now my role  inside Ferrari is 
clear: we had to understand where my presence would be most  useful," 
Schumacher 
was quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport.  
"I deal with the development of the car inside Gestione  Sportiva.  
"We haven't yet scheduled the days when I'll drive the  car, nothing's 
decided. We'll evaluate depending on the situations: if the team  need me to, 
I'd 
like to drive, but not too often. 
"The F2008? The car is promising, but it is not yet in its  definitive 
configuration. To give a more grounded opinion we'll have to see what  our 
rivals 
have done."
