BREAKING NEWS - Schumacher to retire!!!
 

http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/s...S PNHeadlines



One of Formula One's all-time greats reportedly is ready to vacate his ride permanently.

he will be missed

Finally a spot open for Verstappen :)

Ah...I believe it when I hear the official statement on Sunday!!!
And I have to say.....I don't like him anyway!!!!!
But I also have to say that he really is the best one in the F1

one of the best

he didn't want to test himself against raikonen in a head to head. still if he does go he will retire as one of the greatest drivers ever. good luck to him, he has been a good ambassador for the sport!

Guys take it easy. Let's wait till he announces it himself. ESPN writes that their source is the german newspaper "Bild". As far as I am informed "Bild" is a tabloid. So let's wait for Monza this weekend and let him announce it himself...

Old news actually.

But thanks for the link.

He just signed with Petty Racing for the 2007 NASCAR season !!!!!!!!!!

that is soooo bad...

lol BS why on earth would he want to run around in circles with a bunch of hillbillies after driving the best race cars in the world.

good decision but he will be missed for sure

dammm....he is great


Mr. Romance

harsh but true

Don't believe everything you read.

He got tired of winning no doubt.

I'll wait for the official announcement.

But if he does go, he'll go as the most sucessful F1 driver ever - 7 world championships.

Why not Juan Pablo Montoya left F1 recently to drive NASCAR.

Tho I seriously doubt MS would do such a thing.

dam this is crazy....

true he will go down for just that biutch

It isn't like he needs the money.

Yea but Montoya already has a history in US racing with Indy Car

In the words of Keith Richards: "What am I gonna do if I retire, go fishing?" Don't think Schumi can stay away.

btw as a side note Shumi is about the only thing that could make me watch NASCAR.. lol so I guess they will pick up a big audience if he really did sign with them.

why would anyone ask...

It was just a joke, I know Schumacher is to old to learn how to pass or drive in traffic ....



















:1orglaugh

It's news to me, might as well hang them while being great

No he wont....

He's making the sport boring.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I only belive he'll step down after I hear him say that. Let's wait for Sunday after the race!

2nd Highest paid athlete in one year

collectively - Highest paid athlete ever!



Tiger woods beat him by 17 million in one year

Might as well go out while he's on top of his career and his health intact

Never really liked him, but he was good ;)

Neither golf players nor F1 drivers are athletes, for crying out loud. Kind of like calling chess players athletes. :1orglaugh

he told me that long ago, now all the mediocre drivers will have a chance

why do so many people hate is beyond me, simply because he's the best, I hear people saying - ok, he competes "dirty", he's not a sportsmen - cry me a fucking river, you do everything you can to win, period

and win he does

:thumbsup :1orglaugh

F1 drivers aren't athletes? :1orglaugh

I will miss him for sure....

At last F1 will be cleaned of this guy who tried twice to win the championship by ramming his rivals car (Hill and Villeneuve) in the final race.

No offense dude, but that was a really ignorant statement...these days, most F1 driver are elite-level athletes. The physical demands of driving a formula 1 car are incredibly intense and these guy have to train up to that level.

a few yrs ago f1 was nice i thought, but now i never watch it anymore.... it sucks

I'm about to show my age .... (51)

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 ..... :)

:( I'm a huge fan...

Sir Jackie is an awesome man....he really started the push for safety in motorsport.

p.s. i started calling Michaels' retirement over a month ago. Raikkonen has an ironclad contract with ferrari for next year and Massa has been acting like he knows exactly what he is doing next year...and is very happy with it. 3 does not go into 2 ;)

Well it was a pretty high chance that this would be his last year.. I think he really wanted that last championship but I'm sure he's probably getting tired as a driver now.

Yeah, I agree...really, how much more does he need to prove? I've never been a huge fan of him, but you can't deny the greatness.

k, then scratch F1 drivers from my statement. Still doesn't make golfers athletes. :)

Would be a fitting way to finish if he can win the championship this year.

1 of the best of all times:2 cents:

Sexy guy and awesome driver...

Yea I always liked him but I believe I knew he was great when I saw him do that one race in Monaco I think it was, when his car was stuck in 5th gear. He made two pit stops and still finished the race I think it was in third.

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.
