Formula one great Niki Lauda has revealled the ruthless approach the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher had to racing. Former world champion Lauda said Schumacher "tried to cheat where he could" but that "racing drivers have to do that [cheat]" in order to win. Pat Symonds, Schumacher’s former engineer at Benetton, believes that the Germans win at all costs mentality and at times controversial actions can be attributed to "split-second decision making". Schumacher, 47, continues to receive treatment at his home in Switzerland following a skiing accident in December 2013. This clip was first broadcast on 5 live Sport, Thursday 25 August 2016.
