Schumacher admits eyeing return to retirement
"I do not know if my mindset is right for this team"
Michael Schumacher has reportedly admitted he is considering returning to retirement.
Corriere dello Sport said that despite the seven time world champion having a contract for 2012, he might hang up his helmet at the end of this season.
"I arrived at Mercedes with a specific task: not winning at all costs but to grow the team," the 42-year-old is quoted as saying.
"If anything, I am the problem: it is a fact that I am a bit more relaxed than before and I do not know if my mindset is right for this team.
"At some point we will evaluate whether I continue or stop," added Schumacher.
Should the German retire for the second time, Force India’s Paul di Resta is considered the favourite for his Mercedes race seat in 2012.
