Its the way it happens. Again I am not taking anything away from Schumi, he was simply incredible in his time. The fact he never won the title in his last two seasons tho tells me he should have retired way before he did.
Seriously thinking about booking a flight to Valencia and grabbing some tickets for this race, its History in the making.

You are forgetting that Hamilton had the best car those two years. Yes he did a great job, but he also made some dumb rookie mistakes which is to be expected. Look at F1 this year and what has Hamilton done? He's been beat all year by a brand new team and only won a single race.
Now that Hamilton doesn't have the best car on the grid he's not doing very well and he's 2nd tier at the moment to Brawn & Red Bull. The thing is even when Schumacher had a bad car or a bad year he still won races.
BTW For being over the hill.. M. Schumacher still won 7 races in 2006 his last season, so I really don't see where you are saying he was doing bad.
