The astonishing seven world titles and record 91 race victories made him one of the greatest Formula One drivers but in his second stint Michael Schumacher has not won a single race in almost three years.
Does this forgettable comeback hurt his legacy as one of the most celebrated drivers in the F1 world? Ask the German legend and his answer is a firm ‘no’. ‘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,’ said Schumacher, who has decided to retire after this season.
He joined Mercedes in 2010 and has managed just one podium finish. A third place at European Grand Prix this season has been his best result in the comeback.
