Schumacher hints at walking away from F1

Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has revealed for the first time since returning to F1 that he is no longer enjoying racing.

"The big joy has gone right now," said Schumacher after finishing 12th at the Turkish Grand Prix.

Schumacher has scored just six points in the opening four races this season. It is an indicator that the seven-time world champion could now start to question whether he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level of motor sport.

The statistics make significant reading because in 23 races since he was tempted out of retirement, Schumacher has undeniably been second best to team-mate Nico Rosberg, the Daily Mail reports.

This year Schumacher has been out-qualified by Rosberg in all four grands prix, and beaten by his younger German compatriot in the last two, and 15 overall.
