Michael Schumacher's brother, Ralf, regrets not sharing a team with his sibling during their years in Formula One together.
Schumacher won seven F1 titles during his prime years, establishing himself as one of the best drivers in the sport's entire history in the process.
However, in December 2013, his life changed forever.
The German was skiing in France with his son, Mick, when he went off course and struck his head on a rock.

Schumacher was initially conscious but his situation deteriorated and he was placed in a medically-induced coma.
Though the 55-year-old was later allowed to return home, updates on his condition have been rare in the decade since.
Fans are still kept in the dark, with the Schumacher family opting to keep details under wraps in order to protect the F1 icon's privacy.
Ralf Schumacher has spoken to the Formula For Success podcast and admits he'd love to have shared a team with his brother.
That didn't happen, however, because one of them would have 'always lost'.
"It would have been amazing, but on the other hand the problem was always...first of all there was never really an opportunity, and second, one of us would have always lost," he said.
"I don't know whether that would have been good from a marketing point of view or a relationship point of view between brothers.
"Going back, it would have been amazing to share a season together."
Ralf adds that he and his brother always had a great relationship.
"Although I have to say it was very open," he continued.
"I knew what he was doing and he knew what I was doing.
"It was always good to be able to talk to somebody that you could trust."
Ralf won six out of the 182 F1 races he participated in during his years in the sport.
Michael, however, won 91 out of 308 races.
Only Lewis Hamilton has won more than the stricken star, with the Briton finishing first on 103 occasions since making his F1 debut all the way back in 2007.

Back in November, meanwhile, Ralf was asked about his brother and his situation today.
He said the family 'have to accept' that Schumacher is different than before, but insists the 55-year-old's children are 'making their way' in life.
“Sometimes life isn’t fair, unfortunately. We have to accept it,” Ralf told German outlet Bunte.
“When I see his [Michael’s] kids, Gina-Maria and Mick, my heart smiles. If anyone in the family seeks my advice, I’m there.
“They’re making their way.”

Ralf also admitted he missed his sibling, too.
“I miss my Michael from back then,” Ralf told Bild.
"Life is sometimes unfair.
"Michael had often been lucky in his life, but then this tragic accident happened.
"Despite modern medical options, nothing is as it used to be."
