Age has slowed down Michael Schumacher, his countryman and former rival Heinz-Harald Frentzen said on Tuesday.
Early in their motor racing careers, it was the now 44-year-old Frentzen who was considered the quicker of the pair, but Schumacher went on to dizzying heights in F1 while the other German retired in 2003 with just three wins.

A secret of Sebastian Vettel’s run of success is the “dream team” at Red Bull.
That is the claim of the 24-year-old German’s retired countryman and grand prix winner Heinz-Harald Frentzen. The former Sauber and Williams driver told Welt newspaper: “As long as the team stays together, it will be very hard to beat. This is what we saw with Ferrari’s dream team.

New teams deserve places on F1 grid – Trulli

Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Alex Wurz have also agreed to appear as stewards in 2010.
As was previously reported, Johnny Herbert has agreed to be a formula one steward at a race or two later in 2010. FIA president Jean Todt’s initiative of installing an experienced former grand prix driver on the four-man stewards panel at each race is designed to speed up and add credibility to the rule-enforcing process.
Heinz-Harald Frentzen will be the former driver serving alongside three conventional FIA stewards at this weekend’s European grand prix. 
The 45-year-old Briton, who won three grands prix during his career spanning 165 races until 2000, debuted in the role in Malaysia. 
This week will see a long-scheduled change of management in the technical department at Hinwil. Willy Rampf (56), the team’s Technical Director for the last ten years, will hand over the reins to James Key (38). 
The Jean Todt-led initiative, with experienced former drivers sitting alongside the regular F1 stewards, is designed to give credibility and bring a new relevant perspective to their decisions. 
For the first time since his team collapsed in 2001, quadruple world champion Alain Prost is set to become a near-regular in formula one this season.
