''I am very happy that Sebastian has made this decision. It is good for Formula 1 worldwide. Losing a personality and a champion like Sebastian Vettel would be a shame for the entire sport," the German said according to Speedweek.com.
Yet Ralf also had his reservations about Vettel's future. ''We know how important the environment is to him, and that's good, but at Zandvoort, he was really in a bad mood with all the environmental issues going on there. I really had doubts then and wondered if maybe he was going to spend more time with his family," Schumacher concludes.
