A former rival of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher has admitted the treatment of the F1 legend from fellow drivers was “not fair”.

Schumacher was known for his agg💯ressive driving and his hunger 🔴to win during his Formula 1 heyday.

He racked up a then-record seven drivers’ championship𒊎s, including five in a row for ꦫFerrari during his golden period. Lewis Hamilton has since matched that tally.

But Schum♉acher - w💟ho was a massive global star in the late-90s and early-2000s - did not have many friends among his peers, a fellow German driver claims.

“Wไell on the track, Schumacher was occasionally quite nasty,” ex-F1 driver Christian Danner told🌳 SpaceportSweden.

“In his manoeuvres he was quite unfair.

“Just listen to what Mika Hakkinen has to say and what other people li🧔ke friends or Nick Heidfeld have to say.

“You just have to watch how many people he drove off the track. He used a lot of nasty tricks, which are lu⭕ckily not allowed anymore because they were😼 seriously dangerous.

“In that respect he wasn't a very popular man among the other drivers at all 🅠actually. I can only see that and say I think it was probably not fair.

“But to watch him drive a car was such a pleasure be🐈cause he had such car control and such a specif🌞ic driving style which was very hard. It was an incredibly intense driving style.

“He could go faster than others because of his way of driving. It's difficult to ex🥀plain but I adored him for that.

“And🃏 from a🐽 human aspect, I always got on with him. We weren't close friends because his social life was rather different to mine.

“He had a different group of friends and a different lifestyle and ꦡeverything. But I did get on with him very well whenever we met, whenever we had a chat or whenever we did something together which happened occasiona👍lly because for the past 27 years, I actually traveled to every single Grand Prix.

“♛It’s the Formula One family thing, you kind of run into the same people all over again. In that respect I got on with Michael quite well.”

🌠Schumacher had a stern and steely outlook inside the Formula 1 paddock but was known for his personality away from it.

He was a known lover of footb🤡all, and played in many charity games. Other drivers have told stories about partying w🌺ith him after races, too.

His career ended in 2012, after a three-year stint at Mercedes which laid the groundwork for that🗹 team’s future success. He ended a three-year retirement, after leaving Ferrari, to join Mercedes.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher now 🍎is 56 years old and lives away from the glare of the public. Ever since a skiing accident 11 years ago left him with a hౠead injury, he has been protected privately by his family.
