(GMM) Ralf Schumacher has steered away from reports of a spat with his retiring brother.

The Toyota driver, who is six years younger than 37-year-old Schumacher, played down the fact that he left Monza last weekend without speaking personally with Michael, who had announced his retirement at the end of 2006.

Ralf told German broadcaster RTL: ”The only reason I left so quickly is that Monza was a very bad weekend for me.”
