Vitaly Petrov spoke about conflicts with his Formula 1 rivals, which, according to him, happened more than once during his three years of racing.
Vitaly especially noted the relationship with seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who at that time represented Mercedes.
There was a case with Michael Schumacher, who tricked me in Turkey when I was fighting with him, I overtook him, and he hit my wheel from behind - as a result, I lost two positions. And in India he had to finish the race ahead of schedule, not without my participation. . .
Then I went up to him and said, don`t worry, Michael. Another thing is that at that moment neither he nor I were fighting for the title, it was an ordinary fight. Only for points, so there wasn`t much negativity. Another thing is that pilots know and see when you deliberately break the rules, fly headlong and crash. And another thing is that when clashes arise in the struggle, they are inevitable. We understand each other and yet sometimes we hit each other`s faces, " Petrov admitted.
Vitaly competed in F1 from 2010 to 2012 for Renault and Caterham.
