Schu still facing ‘GPDA’ boot

(GMM) Although Michael Schumacher emerged unscathed from a drivers' meeting at Silverstone, the seven time world champion is still likely to be booted out of the 'GPDA'.

'Bild am Sonntag' newspaper in Germany carried a report on Sunday claiming that, as a belated reaction to his 'Rascasse' indiscretion during Monaco qualifying, the Ferrari driver will not be re-elected as a director at a Turkish grand prix vote in August.

''(There) we will end Michael's term as director,'' an unnamed driver told the newspaper.

Schumacher's controversial actions, and the driver union's failure to sanction him, has already cost the 'GPDA' two angry members.

The unnamed driver continued: ''We have had enough of his sinister actions (and) we no longer want to be represented by him.''

Jacques Villeneuve, one of the members who resigned in protest, suggested knowledge in Montreal of Schumacher's impending demise.

Referring to Schumacher's apparent attack on his fledgling music career, the Canadian said: ''Michael will find out at some stage what kind of effect his stupid talk has.''
