Schumacher !!! Should he call it quits

[veeten]

Well, if this weekend's events are a major barometer, it is high time for Herr Schumacher to take that well-deserved long vacation.

You're past it, boy. Face facts...

Of course, it's up to him, not external observers, but what I find puzzling is the manner in which he seems willing to accept being second-best or worse. This is not the Schumacher we know of old.

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.

Unfortunately, his frustrations are starting to appear on track now.

He's slow and dangerous like an old wounded Tiger.

Time to revoke his Licence.

terrible incident with rubens and I think it merits some kind of grid place penalty for the next race.

But finishing 11th in a race with a car that is obviously ( and I can hardly beleive what I am saying) no match for the Williams right now is not exactly a terrible job worthy of immediate retirement.

It is obvious the car is not that competitive, and seemingly getting less so with every race, so its hard to know how much of it is him and how much of it is the car. I still say wait till the end of the year and probably give him another. Even Yamamoto driving a RBR, Ferrari, or mclaren would be finishing in the points and maybe winning a race or two. If MSC was in any of those cars, we would all be having a different discussion.

You've got a grudge with him, obviously. First you accuse him of trying to kill Rubens, then you ask for his license to be revoked.
What about Webber, Trulli or DC who in recent years failed to decapitate their direct competitors a few times each?!

MS did a dangerous move today and he has to be/was punished, however he didn't do it out of carelessness or lack of control.

PS: Don't know why but you remind me of an old 'friend' around here, he used to call himself Knock-on. He also hated MS like you do.

I agree, but what we are seeing is a driver displaying none of the positive attributes of what made him great in the first place. What is there to praise about that?

Steady on there - somewhat over the top auld boy!

This was no different to the incident between Webber and Alonso at the Nurgurgring last year.

All this gnashing of teeth, wailing and predictions of dire consequences by so many is quite funny actually.

Michael Schumacher has always been my guy, and he's still one of the greatest to slap on an F1 car -- but what he did today with Rubens was just stupid, and dangerous.

[Mia 01]

After what I saw today, well, he could be forced out of F1.
