Schumacher !!! Should he call it quits

It was like watching Schumacher defend 10 championships in one day. Even NASCAR would have black-flagged him today for those antics. But I guess the super-fit, super-human Schumacher can't compete with the kids these days at the grand old age of 42 (it's the new 32). Long gone are those days when he was able to carry that cursed Benetton across the finnish line in his mighty arms.

Coulthard and Brundle got their shots in today:

"He's been lacking in the wheel to wheel combat."
"Well, he's never really had to worry about that in his career running at the front."

"He just doesn't know when to give up!"
"You mean his career?"
"No, in that corner!"

It's overman!

Yeah but in 20 years people willl remember the name Schumacher as one of the greatest ever.


and Brundle, who is he?? what did he ever do??
I can not remember....is he that fat mechanic know it all on Speed TV???

Oh no, now I remember. He holds the record for the most f1 races by a driver, without a pole, without a fastest lap, without a victory...but he did manage to finish 4th or something


then who was the other guy??? Oh yeah Davie C, who could not cut it against his team mates, and despite driving one of the best cars on the grid.....and looks sponge bob square pants or who ever.....and of course, always beaten by schuie.

Those two are still sore losers.....

Of course, MS could go do nascar.

But first he would need to get in proper shape to do NASCAR......He would need to bulk up. He would need to drop all that excerczing and drink lots of beer, much BBQ, put on another 75-100 lbs and go do it.

Brundle is a World Sportscar Champion and a winner of 24 hours Le Mans.

David Coulthard is the winner of 13 Grand Prix. In more than 100 years of Grand Prix racing, only 18 drivers have ever won more grand prix than him, 14 of whom are alive.

They might not be the greatest stars of formula 1, but they are both extremely sucessful people in their life and career. To top it all off, they are both wealthy, and seem to be enjoying a comfortale life. Coultahrd, I believe also owns a hotel in Monaco. Not that wealth is a measure of greatness or anything, but...

I don't know what you've done and what achievements you have had in your name dude, but if that's your definition of 'loser', I really would love to be a loser as well.

Michael - you need to give up the ghost.

And he knows it!

He's got that same wild eyed look that Damon had at the end of his career.

he should stay some more. he's performances are simply delightful. The guy who would win in a Minardi can't even finish in the top ten in a Mercedes. Give the cars MS drove and a puppet for a team mate to a Vettel, Alonso or Hamilton and they will all win at least 7 titles too. I think with him still on track cars should be fitted with horns.

In the end DC was like MS now. Very, very slow, a shadow of what he once was.

Actually, Martin held up really rather well against Michael in the Benetton. Once Michael realised, as with Herbert, Barrichello etc etc, they were not allowed to get near him after that.

Still, what goes around.....
