Motorsport: Dominance boring says Lauda

Niki Lauda says he would have walked away from Formula One motor racing had he been as dominant as Ferrari's Michael Schumacher.

"I would have got bored," Austria's three-time world champion, now the Jaguar team principal, said ahead of Monday's US Grand Prix when asked whether he could have envisaged winning as many races as the German.

"Winning all the time, I would have started to do something else with my life."

Lauda won the world championship with Ferrari in 1975 and 1977 in an era when driver fatalities were frequent and dominance on the Schumacher scale was unthinkable. But he walked away from the sport in 1979, famously saying he was fed up with going around in circles and wanted a change.
