Brother Ralf says own F1 career ’over’
"The DTM is much more friendly"
Ralf Schumacher has ruled out following his older brother Michael back into formula one.
At the weekend, 36-year-old Ralf kicked off his fifth consecutive season driving a Mercedes in the German touring car series DTM.
He was a respected winner of 6 grands prix, driving most recently for Toyota in 2007, but despite his famous brother’s return to F1 with Mercedes, Ralf told Germany’s Der Westen that his own grand prix career "is over".
"Formula one is exciting and beautiful, but the DTM is much more friendly, we don’t have to travel all around the world, everything is familiar.
"I like that," the German said.
