Weber talks up Olympic idea

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER's colorful manager Willi Weber has been talking rather a lot in recent days about a bid by Stuttgart to host the Olympic Games in 2012. The odd thing about this is that no-one (apart from Weber himself) has mentioned him in connection with the event. Weber says that he would interested in running the bid for the games if an approach was to be made.

To cynical observers it seems that Weber may be trying to put his name forward as a possible candidate for the job.
