Former Formula 1 ace Michael Schumacher fell from his motorcycle yet again, as he continued his new semi-professional racing hobby on two wheels at the weekend.
The record-holding seven-time world champion, and winner of 91 grands prix, returned to the saddle at the IDM (Internationale Deutsche Motorradmeisterschaft) German motorbike championships at the Nurburgring.
But Schumacher, 39, who started from 25th on the grid and had fought up to seventeenth, failed to finish the race when he fell on lap 11.
He was not injured, German media reports said.
"I am completely okay," Schumacher is quoted as saying by the Financial Times Deutschland. "It was my mistake and a shame, because this race was proving a lot of fun.
"17th would have been absolutely great for me," he added.
