It's been tough three years and things have not gone according to expectations: Schumacher

Michael Schumacher is one of the greatest Formula One drivers but he has not won a single race in almost three years, says a report in The Indian Express. But Schumacher does not believe that it has changed his legacy.

"There will be lot of opinions. But it remains. It has not changed. I am still capable of fighting but as a team we have not managed. We win together, we lose together. But it (legacy) is not harmed personally," Schumacher said.

Schumacher also said that the last three years have taught him a lot. "Things have not gone according to the expectations. It's been tough three years. We have failed as a team, criticised and that's reasonable and acceptable. I have grown and matured and that's what happens," he said.

On Lewis Hamilton replacing him in the Mercedes team he said, “"We know Lewis is one of the top drivers in the field. It was a wise and good decision to negotiate and find an agreement with him. It's like a family and I wish them best."

Meanwhile, The Hindu reports Schumacher admit regretting a few decisions that he took in his illustrious career. “Yes. That’s the truth. But when I look back, I probably have made more right decisions,” he said.

On being in India he said, ““What I take from India is the emotional fan-following. It has been surprisingly high. I never expected it. It’s beautiful to see I am loved so much. So many people share the passion for the sport I love.”
