Michael Schumacher has confirmed he will team up with Sebastian Vettel at the Race of Champions in Thailand in December.

The Formula One duo have paired up at the event for the past five years and they will be looking to retain the Nations Cup title for Team Germany.

The Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf Germany held the event for the past two years, but it will move to the Rajamangala Stadium, home of Thailand’s national football team, from December 15-16 this year.

“I have never raced in Thailand before so this will be an interesting addition to my motor sport travels,” Schumacher said in a statement.

“Of course it means Team Germany won’t have the home advantage of the past two years but Seb and I managed okay in London and Beijing so we hope it won’t stop us from keeping up our run.

“Racing in a stadium is sensational – and it’s a very different experience for us drivers to hear the fans so close. And of course we are all professionals so the moment we close the visor we want to win…”
