Schumacher: F1 will be more interesting without traction control

Michael Schumacher believes Formula 1 will be much more interesting next season as traction control on F1 cars will be banned. According to the German the races will become more spectacular but he doesn't expect any teams to make a big move forward thanks to the banning of traction control.

Speaking about the latest developments in Formula 1 Michael Schumacher told GPUpdate.net: "It will be really interesting to watch the races next year as there is no traction control. It's not only more interesting for the drivers, but also for the fans. The races can only get more spectacular now, but if it can really give a bit of an advantage to a team has yet to be seen. I expect that the same top teams will still be out there winning races."

The Schumacher fans should not expect him to return to Formula 1 though even though racing would be more fun than testing. "I do not even consider returning to Formula 1. I am just here to have a bit of fun."
