Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton could go head to head in a
charity 'Race of Champions' at London's Wembley Stadium in
December, event organisers said on Wednesday.
Retired seven times Formula One champion Schumacher has
confirmed his participation while organisers said Hamilton, the
22-year-old British rookie leading the standings for McLaren, had
expressed an interest.
"It could be a unique occasion, the only occasion to see him
compete against Michael Schumacher," said Fredrik Johnsson, founder
of the event which brings together champions and leading drivers
from across the world of motorsport.
The Race of Champions, previously held at the Stade de France in
Paris, will have a rally-style format with knockout heats on a
two-lane asphalt track inside the new Wembley Stadium.
"I hope that my participation can help the event organisers
raise even more funds and awareness for the Institute for Cerebral
and Medullary Disorders," Schumacher said in a statement.
