Schumacher

"I find this high popularity rather negative," the Ferrari driver told German daily Die Welt in an interview published on Tuesday. "I don't want to be famous."

Despite being one of the wealthiest sportsmen in the world, the German said he found there were restrictions on his lifestyle.

"You can't use your money the way people imagine you can," he said. "For example if I sailed into a harbor in a yacht, I would feel like I'm in a zoo because people would start looking at me. That's why I wouldn't buy a yacht."
