Schumacher quit to save Massa's job

Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher says he quit Formula One because he was worried Felipe Massa would lose his seat after the team hired Kimi Raikkonen.

"I stopped because I didn't want my friend Felipe Massa to be unemployed," Fox reports Schumacher told Swiss newspaper Blick.

The German goes on to say he did not quit out of fear of the Finn.

"I would have had no problem going up against Kimi Raikkonen."
