No sooner has Ralf Schumacher begun a new relationship with Toyota than he is getting into bed, so to speak, with a new sponsor, having teamed up with 'intimate goods' retailer🧸 Beate Uhse.

The German, who negotiated a divorce from long-term partner Williams during the 2004 campaign, has teamed up with the company to promote its range of sex toys, magazi൩nes and lingerie in Slovenia. The arrangement is part of a E2million development by the company, which has seen its Austrian revenues double in the past two years, and now intends to expand into Slo🐈venia with the opening of up to eight shops.

Schumacher's involvement arose thanks to a mutual contact shared with Beate Uhse's Hans-J?rg Reinhart, but the German star intends to be no more than a 'silent partner' in the expansion, telling German's Die Bild,♔ that he 𓃲is treating his investment like any he would have made in other companies.
