Michael Schumacher’s former rival feels F1 return is ‘not possible’ despite

Michael Schumacher’s former track rival Giancarlo Fisichella has raised doubts the seven-time world champion will ever be back in the F1 paddock again.

Fisichella and Schumacher spent 10 years racing one another in F1 with the former winning three races in his career.

While the Italian driver never reached the same heights as Schumacher, there was a mutual respect between them both that extended beyond the track.

Michael was a great driver, but for sure he could be also a great manager or team principal in a top team,” he told The Sun.

“So it’s a shame it’s not possible for him in his condition, you know.

“He was very tough to overtake. He was a great driver, you know.”

Fisichella also regrets never having shared the same garage as Schumacher during their careers in F1.

He added: “I think Michael was one of the best drivers in the world, he is the history of Formula One. He won seven times the championship.

“I sometimes tried to watch videos about his trajectory. It was a good point of reference for all of us.
