The German, who holds numerous F1 records, has already announced his retirement from Formula 1, but he revealed to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport that when he hangs up his racing gloves in November, that will be the last we see of them.

When asked by the publication if he will continue to race after F1, he said “No, it’s not in my plans.” and later added “Formula 1 offers the maximum as far as emotions, speed and work completeness are concerned. Another type of car wouldn’t give me the same feelings. I’m stopping here completely.”

After retiring from F1 for the first time, Schumacher took to the track on two wheels. After an unsuccessful motorbike racing career he returned to Ferrari as an advisor, and he looks set to move to a similar role at Mercedes. He said on the possible offers “From now on life will offer me plenty of new possibilities. I’m looking forward to them,”

Some had reported that the 91 time F1 race winner could move over to DTM and join his brother Ralf, while others speculated on a return to bike racing. However Schumacher is adamant that he will stay away from racing on track.
