Michael Schumacher's spokesman, Heiner Buchinger, will have to leave his job at the end of the year. Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo was not pleased with Buchinger's reports during Schumacher's absence. Ferrari's press statements contradicted Schumacher press releases on many occasions. As a result Di Montezemolo has asked Buchinger to leave.

Schumacher's manager Willi Weber stated that he is sad to see Buchinger go.
