Suffice to say I watch the Formula 1 to watch Michael Schumacher, good or bad he brought that special something to the sport. Good luck and thanks for the entertainment and the great memories.

george. does that mean you are retiring too?

schumi you lost a lot of ferrari fans respect letting vettel pass so easily.

I remember saying 3 yrs ago this return was a big mistake and I was right.

Pole Position,at least he tried sometimes it does not always work out but hey thats life.

What defines a mistake? Considering he seems to have made himself vastly more popular among people who previously didnt like him and as he said himself he learned how to lose. I dont think its a mistake for him. Sure he didnt get the results but he has gained in other areas of his life.

Only someone very shallow wouldnt see this.

Well done Michael with your departure I will cease to follow F1 actively for the first time since 1995. Its stopped being F1 a long time ago and Michael was the last link to the glory days.

Danke Michael.

Thanks for all the memories Michael, especially bringing the championship back to Ferrari in 2000.
