Schumacher says he never wants to race in the
same team as his brother Ralf. |
| Schumacher's current
teammate Rubens Barrichello
has signed a new deal with Ferrari that will keep
him alongside the German until 2006 and
Schumacher said he was
glad that the chance of teaming up
with his brother, who drives for Williams, had not arisen.
|
| "No, that
wouldn't have been nice at all for one main reason;
if both Ralf and myself were in one team we would race
and one would be the winner and one the loser. That
is something that Ralf doesn't want to do to me
and I don't want to do to Ralf," Michael
told a news conference on
Thursday at Ferrari's winter
retreat in the Dolomites. |
| The record
six-times World champion said
winning and losing in rival teams was an
entirely different matter than
competing in identical cars for the same team. |
| "If you
are fighting in two different
teams you may call it winning and
losing but then you call it under
different circumstances and other things will be responsible
for that," he said. |
| Schumacher
compared his and Ralf's situation
to that of German-based Ukrainian boxing brothers Vitali
and Vladimir Klitschko. |
| "The
Klitschko brothers will never box
against each other and we won't do
the same in F1. We don't want
to fight (against) each other in the same car,"
he said. |
