Tossing in a youngster, mid season with no testing wouldn't be smart. Secondly Ferrari were keen to avoid being seen to replace Massa and thirdly, Schumacher is still hugely respected for his car development skills, which will be invaluable in returning Ferrari to the front.

And really, only Red Bull are particularly active in driver development. The other teams might take an interest in a driver once they've reached GP2 etc. but I can only think of Red Bull actively guiding drivers throughout, save the very occasional Lewis Hamilton type.
as far as i know mclaren also have a driver development programme.

you're right about schumacher imo, the only reason he wasn't going to take the drive was his bike injury and/or the threat of a rolling-pin injury from the missus.
