Oh I fully agree with you. I voted that he should stay on, IMO as a sort of Patrese to Nico's Mansell if Merc manage to get their acts together next year and produce a world beater.

Why would anyone want to see a somebody become a nobody?

He's the most successful driver in F1 history, he'll always be a somebody. I'm sure Merc has done their research as to how his performance will affect profit.

heh, I am looking pretty retarded with that thread.

As a Schumacher fan, his performances have mostly been dissapointing to me. The desire is obviously there, but age seems to have caught up with him too. That said, I hope he gives it another go next year. Obviously, he should and must do better than this season.
Getting outqualifed by Rosberg 2:8 is not acceptable, Rosberg is not that great of a driver.

I just don't think luck has been on his side so far, along with a poor car. He's trying very hard, and sooner than later the results will come too.

I think that's harsh on Nico. Even if a bit of luck has come his way, he's still had to put himself in the position to take advantage of it. I think he's done that extremely well in, as Sonic said, a car that's at best the 3rd fastest. 4th fastest at many races.

I predicted Nico would beat Schumacher as he was not that special when he retired the first time. He's a bit of a whipping boy for the grid at the moment but as long as he doesn't take out his frustration on track, then it's not a problem.

Time isn't going to cure Schumacher because his time in F1 has finished.

Being a Ferrari fan, Michael will always be in my heart but, I voted yes because I don't want more humiliations for him...

I think Michael enjoys a challenge, after all those years of Ferrari being the de-facto #1 car and refuelling strategies and the TC V10's suiting his driving style so well. I recall when the V8's came about there were alot of complaints from drivers, but Schumacher said he "loved the way they drove" even though his results weren't as good.

When you've won it all and usually from P1 on the grid driving away from the field, perhaps he just wants to enjoy fighting for spots like he did in the wet in China.

The only really odd thing is that he's sticking to his multiple-stops strategies when they clearly don't work...stay out of the pits Michael, this isn't France during the refuelling era. Kobayashi looked like a strategical genius compared to Schumacher in Valencia.

He´s a yoke.

At some point he will realise that himself.
