Former Formula One driver Alexander Wurz of Austria says he is ending his motorsport driving career but will remain close to the sport.
Wurz, 41, competed in 69 grands prix between 1997 and 2007, earning three podiums. He also won the famous Le Mans 24 hours in 1996 and 2009.
"I feel the time is right to call it a day and bring my career as a professional racing driver to a close" he said Tuesday in a statement.
"My future will still evolve around racing - it's in my blood after all.
"Anyone who knows me knows that I always have lots of projects on the go which includes growing my road safety and racetrack design business. You will still see me around, just without the overalls."
