On twitter people are saying that he will retire from F1 and stay with Mercedes. Unconfirmed so still a rumour

I'm calling it: Schumacher joins Lotus Renault. This way, he can end his career where he enjoyed his first success and maybe he can have that last bit of success in the old Benetton team as well.
It wouldn't be completely impossible. The French guy could need a year or two somewhere down the grid to mature.

Bah i hope this is wrong. The worst possible outcome for me. Not driving in F1 on top of taking a job with Mercedes. I would rather him take a non driving role within Ferrari. At least he is respected enough there.

Now if somehow Grojean were to get another race banI'm calling it: Schumacher joins Lotus Renault. This way, he can end his career where he enjoyed his first success and maybe he can have that last bit of success in the old Benetton team as well.

Prost is an ambassador for Reanult, for example. Such positions do exist, and it's actually nice if you can get one.I would hope he retires or takes a break. The mercedes ambassador/F1 team role is just hogwash. Suppose that Merc car fails again next year and Schumacher were to be driving in another team with more success, its face palm moment for them. Merc are better placed if Schumacher is on their side on some form or other.

I am afraid you are not right on this one.
As per Forbes,
Michael Schumacher's personal Endorsements are worth $10 mil
Fernando Alonso's Personal Endorsements are worth $3 mil
Lewis Hamilton's Personal Endorsements are worth $3 mil
No mention of Vettel. I am not sure of his numbers either.
Clearly, you can see that Michael Schumacher's brand name is more when it comes to generating $$$.

Yes, true. Let's see what he will make next year.Lewis Hamilton is restricted in the amount of personal endorsements he's allowed. One of the reasons why he's moving to Mercedes.
