    Agree 95% there....plenty of guys on the PGA and European tours that prove you can be a beer-swillin', no workin' out slob and still make a pile of money playing golf.


    edit: 50 athletic racing drivers and 50 pudgy elite golfers :P
    Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

        That was back when he was driving the Benton v8 powered car. That's the other thing so many people seem to forget, he won his first two championships in the only v8 powered car in F-1.
        I know exactly the race you're talking about..it was actually in Barcelona (1994). Just like you, that's when I knew for sure he was something special.

            F1 racing has come a long way since Jackie Stewart, my favorite driver retired. During the early 70's a driver had a three in five chance of dying if he raced more than five years. Think about that, 3 in 5 if you raced more than five years ..... safety was pathetic ..... death or injury by fire common .....

            At the peak of his career, three time World Champion F-1 driver Jackie Stewart retired ..... the reason given was .....

            "I have done everything there is to do in racing except die"

            Happy retirement to Schumacher .....


            Bet there will be a few people close to Mike Schumacher who may be relieved to see him retiring

            Both Jackie and Mike were the cream of their sport and deserving a (living) retirement to enjoy.

                Another thing about MS I'll never forget was the first race of the 1993 season at the Kyalami track in South Africa. I have it on tape and still watch it now and then. Prost was on pole with Senna second in the far inferior mcLaren. MS qualified third.

                At green light, Senna got the drop on Prost and then used his amazing skills to hold off Prost for 25ish laps. It was probably the most amazing battle i've seen in F1. The the superior machinery finally won out and Prost checked out. But MS was trailing this amazing battle by a second or so, staying out of trouble and observing the whole thing, and I just kept thinking "Wow! what an education this guy is getting"

                        When Schumacher retires, slick tires will come back and traction control will be abolished. :D

                                so right...

                                Schumi made Ferrari what it is today and i hate to admit it as i was and still am a huge fan of the great Ayton Senna

                                But Schumi is the greatest ever...if he goes i hope it will be as Champ...but looks unlikely...

                                I dont think he would take a backward step from F1 and think he will run Ferrari one day.... Fuck he could probably buy Ferrari....

                                We need Valentino Rossi into a Ferrari to become only the second man ever to win Moto GP and F1 championships
