Michael Schumacher rejects a two-race offer by Lotus─── 09:08 Thu, 14 Nov 2013
Michael Schumacher, the retired seven-time Formula One champion, turned down an offer from Lotus to drive the final two races of the season as a replacement for Kimi Raikkonen.
Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm, said the 44-year-old Schumacher "would have been fit enough, but he's gotten used to his new life."
Schumacher retired for the second time at the end of the last season, having failed to win a race for Mercedes in a three-year comeback.
Raikkonen will miss the last two races in the United States and Brazil after back surgery.
He will be driving for Ferrari next season, one of Schumacher's former teams with whom he won five consecutive championships.
