It appears there were no issues with Nico’s car but he did say that he wasn’t at his best. It was one of those days for Mercedes.

I thought it was an impressive performance until his car stopped. No reason at all to retire again if driving F1 is what he wants to do. There are other drivers far less deserving of a place on the 2011 grid.

While I agree that he shouldn't retire if he feels fit and wants to try and carry on, a reason he may have to retire is if Mercedes want to move him along.

They won't do anything during the season, it is evident even after only 6 races that they are not going to be title contenders so are pobably only aiming for that maiden win or even just podiums now

Why should he call it quits?
He's doing what he likes to do and on top of that, according to Forbes, he's the F1 driver earning most during the last year, the only F1 driver in top 10:

I think the question shouldn't be whether MS should call it quits, but whether Mercedes should keep him.

Well Villeneuve is going to punt one of the renault guys out of there and they we can all be talking sh!t and see a great rivalry
