Ralf ready to commit to Williams

RALF SCHUMACHER is ready to commit his future to BMW-Williams after he said that he is in discussions over a new deal.

Schumacher has been thrust into the spotlight this season with his first two Grands Prix victories, but he is ready to shun offers to stay with Williams.

Schumacher said: "We will get together and talk about the last details."

Willi Weber, manager of Ralf and brother Michael Schumacher, has said the BMW Williams driver has received several offers including one from Ferrari.

Schumacher added: "We have said already that we have been talking to other teams."
