Schumacher Happy To Just Watch The Brazil GP On TV

7 time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher has told presses that he is quite happy to just watch the Brazilian Grand Prix on TV rather than be a part of it.

The finale to the 2007 season in Brazil, the place where 1 year ago Schumacher retired from F1, is the location where a possible 3 drivers can be crowned world champion.

Schumacher has himself been involved in many close final battles and enjoyed some good races on the Interlagos circuit, but is happy to just be a fan this time!

“The world championship finale in Brazil will be a great battle,” Schumacher said in a statement

“I can well think back to the tension a weekend like this one means to the driver and to be honest, I’m quite happy to be watching the race from my sofa at home this time,” the most successful Formula One driver said on his personal website.

“Not only as a fan but more so as a driver you dream of a big fight like this and it goes without saying, that I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Kimi and our team,” said Schumacher, who retired after the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix but still works with Ferrari.

“I’m sure it’s going to be a thrilling race – just like the whole year has been, in my opinion, an extremely exciting championship.

“I was happy to see that no matter what happened we always remained competitive and consistent, despite all the changes within the team and the technical problems we were facing sometimes. The guys have done a great job.

“It’s now been a full year since I drove my last race and, looking back on that final day in Interlagos, I’ve got some very good memories that have stayed with me.

“But all in all, my family and I feel wonderful with the life that we have nowadays.”
