Lauda wouldn’t have shone like Schu

THREE-TIME world champion Niki Lauda revealed last night that he would have quit Formula One had he been as dominant as Michael Schumacher.

The Austrian said he would have looked to do something else with his life, but admitted Schumacher had to be applauded for his record-breaking achievements.

''No way. I mean, I would have got bored,'' said Lauda when asked at the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis yesterday if he could envisage winning as many races as Schumacher.
