Sauber chief executive Monisha Kaltenborn yesterday said that the Swiss outfit were interested in signing German Michael Schumacher when his contract with Mercedes expires in 2013.

Schumacher, 43, is reportedly still undecided about his future after learning that he will be replaced by Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.

Kaltenborn told the sportsdaily Bild: “Michael has until now been with just big stables which we can’t compare ourselves to”. Team principal Peter Sauber has already said that he would “immediately” sign Schumacher if he were available.
