Paddock sentiment has started swinging towards the expectation that he will continue for another year or two.
Weber suggested that Schumacher's decision would be less to do with his current performances than his state of mind and family considerations.
"He's like red wine, he's getting better and better," he said. "But at the end of the day, it's his decision and it's not easy for him to make the decision to continue or to stop.
"It (the announcement) will still be at Monza, nothing has changed. When you know Michael and he says Monza, it is Monza," he added.
The vast majority of the Hockenheim crowd, red-shirted and blasting out support for their idol with air-horns and roars of applause at every glimpse, were praying for him to continue.
"It's something different," said Weber of the atmosphere.
"To come here every year is something special, you come into the motodrome and the crowds are screaming. It's a fantastic feeling how the fans are backing him."
