	Money not the issue

	It was previously reported that Ralf Schumacher was having difficulties finalising an extension to his contract with the WilliamsF1 team. His current contract finishes at the end of the 2004 season. It is believed that the problems relate to Ralf's personal sponsors. Ralf said: "There are a few contract details that I cannot discuss. I am not totally satisfied and that is why the talks are still ongoing." Ralf Schumacher's manager Willi Webber had indicated that Ralf is not bound to stay with the WilliamsF1 team. In an interview for the German newspaper Webber said: "If the conditions are not right then we will simply not sign. There are other quick cars around. It is not as if Ralf will be sitting on the street." It has also been reported that Weber and Schumacher are looking for a salary of £8.7m but that the WilliamsF1 is only prepared to pay £5.2m. But Ralf has insisted pay is not the problem. Ralf said: "Money is not really the issue. You cannot believe everything you read in the newspapers."
