Greater Noida: Champions have egos and if you are seven time Formula One Champion Michael Schumacher, you would ideally not want hurt his ego by asking something which doesn't exactly amuse him.
The most celebrated driver in F-1 history with 91-race victories hasn't won anything after his comeback three seasons ago but probe him about a dent in the legacy that he has created, the answer was an emphatic "NO."
You could immediately sense that Schumacher exactly didn't like the question.
"There will be lot of opinions. But it remains. It has not changed. I am still capable of fighting but as a team we have not managed. We win together, we lose together. But it (legacy) is not harmed personally," Schumacher, who has decided to retire after this season, said.
He won his first title in 1994 and 1995 and then revived Ferrari with his five consecutive titles from year 2000.
He joined Mercedes in 2010 and has managed just one podium finish. A third place at European Grand Prix this season has been his best result in the comeback.
The German said the tough three years taught him a lot.
"Things have not gone according to the expectations. It's been tough three years. We have failed as a team, criticised and that's reasonable and acceptable. I have grown and matured and that's what happens."
He also said that he does not have much to regret in his career.
"Yes, in the hindsight probably, you have (regrets) but most of the time I have made the right decision." .
