Schumi suffers with Rosberg and Vettel with

In addition to the dashboard, Schumacher was also concerned with the failure of his teammate Nico Rosberg. 'It's a shame that Nico was thrown out of the race due to a collision through no fault of his own, otherwise it would have been an excellent weekend for our team,' he said. Sebastian Vettel's catastrophe race couldn't get out of his head either. 'It's a shame, but that's how motorsport is.
