At the next Grand Prix in the United States, Schumacher spun off in the first corner and collided with the cars of David Coulthard and Rubens Barrichello. To ensure a greater chance of retaining his seat at Toyota, he offered to accept a $17 million pay cut. Schumacher did not finish the races at the British Grand Prix,[72] and the European Grand Prix from a mechanical failure and a collision with BMW Sauber driver Nick Heidfeld, respectively.[72][73] Schumacher later scored a further point for Toyota in Hungary, before taking consecutive finishes outside the points in the next three races.

Schumacher ended his final season in Formula One 16th in the Drivers' Championship, with 5 points.[7]
Attempted comebacks
Before and after his departure from Toyota, Schumacher was linked to several teams in Formula One. He held talks with long-time mentor and Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost about a possible drive for the team,[75] who ultimately opted to sign Sebastian Vettel and Sébastien Bourdais. Schumacher later approached McLaren to enquire about a seat that was vacated by Fernando Alonso;[76] he was later turned down. Despite these setbacks, Schumacher remained certain that a Formula One seat would be available for 2008.[77]
Schumacher's final participation in Formula One came at a test held for the newly formed Force India team in December 2007. This was a bid to secure a race seat alongside fellow German Adrian Sutil. During the test, Schumacher was the slowest driver, and later announced that he would not join the team for 2008, and that the possibility of participating in Formula One would be unlikely.[78] After spending two seasons away from the sport, Schumacher's experience made him a target for the new teams US F1, Hispania (HRT), Virgin, and Lotus that entered the 2010 season, all of whom he rejected.[79]

Schumacher finished the season eighth in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 21 points.[7]
2012
On 20 October 2011, it was announced that Schumacher would remain at HWA for the 2012 season, and was once again partnered by Green and Paffett who were joined by new signing Christian Vietoris.[96] Schumacher's season got off well as he clinched consecutive points scoring finishes in the first two races of the season, and managed to secure further finishes in the races held at Brands Hatch and the Red Bull Ring, although Schumacher did not finish in the points scoring positions. He was forced into retirement at the next race held at the Norisring due to an electrical failure while leading.[97] This marked a turning point in Schumacher's season as he managed to finish the remaining five races of the season, including two points finishes in the races held at Zandvoort and the season finale at the Hockenheimring. Schumacher finished the season 17th in the Drivers' Championship, with 10 points.[7]
Driver management
Schumacher announced his retirement from active motorsport in March 2013 and would enter a management role at Mücke Motorsport, as well as becoming a shareholder in the team.[98] In his role, he assists in the mentoring of young drivers signed with Mercedes-Benz.[99]

In April 2001, Schumacher became engaged to Cora-Caroline Brinkmann, a former model;[100] they were married on 5 October that year in a private civil ceremony at the couple's home in Hallwang, Austria.[101] On 23 October 2001, David Schumacher, their son who also went to become a racing driver,[102] was born, three weeks premature.[103] Outside motorsport, he enjoys cycling, tennis, and backgammon.[104]
On 20 February 2015, Schumacher's lawyer confirmed that Schumacher and his wife had divorced after an acrimonious period of separation.[105] The couple fought a custody battle over their son, and Schumacher's estimated €100 million fortune, which was resolved with Cora receiving a €6 million settlement and the family home at Bergheim.[105] Schumacher was appointed a Laureus Ambassador at the Laureus World Sports Awards for the Laureus Foundation in 2011.[106]
Animal rights
Schumacher is a prominent supporter of the Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuary, situated near Salzburg. Animal rights activists accused Schumacher of hypocrisy as he was known as a passionate hunter in his spare time. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) criticized Schumacher as he was accused of paying £35,000 to shoot three deer in a defined area in 2007.[107]
