MONZA, Italy (AP) -- Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from Formula One on Sunday, moments after the seven-time world champion won the Italian Grand Prix.
The 37-year-old Ferrari driver, who holds every major record in the sport, will leave after the year-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Oct. 22.
``Soon my future will belong to my family,'' Schumacher said. ``But for now, what matters is this world championship.''
Ferrari said it would announce a ``new role'' for Schumacher at the end of the season.
``I will always be part of the Ferrari family,'' he said.
