Saturday, May 13th 2006, 17:03 GMT
Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher will feature in Pixar Animation Studios' latest movie. Schumacher will play a cameo in Cars, the new 3D animated movie from Pixar, creators of The Incredibles, Toy Story and Finding Nemo among others. "Yeah, it's true that I give my voice for a sort of cartoon movie," said Schumacher in today's press conference for the Spanish Grand Prix.
When asked what kind of character he would play, Schumacher replied: "A Ferrari car, what else?" Cars, the seventh animated movie to be created by Pixar, features a wide variety of cars as characters. NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip, as well as former world champion Mario Andretti will also lend their voices for the movie.
The movie opens in the USA on 9 June.
