Schu warns - I’m not retiring

Michael Schumacher has warned the rest of Formula One not to expect him to retire any time soon.

Schumacher is on the verge of winning a record seventh world championship at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.

He can seal the crown with victory or by taking two points more than Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello, the only man who can mathematically stand in his way.

But Schumacher yesterday banished any thoughts of retirement. Despite being by far the sport’s most successful driver, he has set his sights on even more victories.

“I’d rather look forward to what I can maybe further achieve than look backwards to what I have. I don’t think I ever raced for what is left to do, I just race for the pleasure of racing, competing and winning.”
