There will be no harm to my legacy: Schumacher

schumacherGreater Noida: He epitomises the sport Formula 1 and so when back in 2010, Michael Schumacher decided to make a comeback from retirement everyone expected him to be the same old ‘Schumi’ but he failed to deliver on the expected lines.

Schumacher, the seven times world champion and winner of 91 races is synonymous to F-1 racing, and his futile return has made the critics busy trying to pull him down.

But the legendary German driver stays unheeded by the ‘cynical approach’ and said that there will be talks but then that would hardly take his legacy away.

“I am still capable of fighting but as a team we have not managed to do so. We win together, we lose together. But there will be no harm to my legacy,” Schumacher told the reporters at the Buddh International Circuit here today.

Schumacher, who retired from F-1 in 2007, came out of his retirement in 2010 with Mercedes. But then his comeback was not that successful and he finished at the podium only once since three years.

"It has been tough three years and things have not gone according to the expectations. We have failed as a team, criticised and that's reasonable and acceptable. I have grown and matured and that's what happens.

The 42 year old German driver who has decided to call it a day after the current season said that there is no chance of any more comebacks from him.

"I do not want to think of the future but then one thing I am sure of is that there will not be any comebacks."
