Nascar is boring, says Schumacher
Michael Schumacher
Schumacher has yet to decide his future after this season
Seven-times Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher has said he would never consider a move to Nascar.

McLaren's Juan Pablo Montoya looks set for a move to the US-based racing series, but Schumacher says he is not tempted to follow suit.

"What do you see in Nascar? What is exciting about it? I can't see it running around in ovals," said the 37-year-old German.

"I just don't see the challenge in it for me. Personally, I wouldn't do it."

However, Schumacher's view was not shared by former F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve.

"Nascar has always looked very exciting, racing-wise," said the 35-year-old Canadian, whose contract with BMW Sauber expires at the end of the season.

"It's something definitely to look at if there's no Formula One."
