Michael Schumacher - The Greatest Motor Racer of all time...FORZA SCHUMACHER

[DOHCTR Coopz!]

Big Call mate.

I assume you're saying that because you're of italian heritage.

[shinji112]

to me he was the only true champion of F1. no one will be able to do what he has done. his never-say-die attitude will be sorely missed

I'm glad I went to his final Melbourne GP this year.
What a champion he is, I hope he wins the title this year.

ProECU - Its not a big call, he built a successful team around him for him to win titles. Thats what champions do (example Sebastan Loeb in WRC now)
Do not turn this thread into Schumacher V Senna (If you want that debate please start a new thread)

We should all feel blessed we watched him do what he does best and for the very first time he looked directly into the camera during his press interview and talked.

Schumacher now is a TRUE LEGEND!

No, not at all.

Its not a big call at all, the guy is a 7 time world champion..he is the greatest.

[JDM.Power]

yes its a big impact that he is leaving
alonso didnt want him to leave also.
as you hear from the commentators, one of em said
Alonso didnt want him to go, because he enjoyed racing with him.

goodluck to m schuey in the future.
i have been watching him since i was a little boy back in primary school. talking about you with my teachers back then!! ahaha yeah...have a laugh but yeah. his a true champion!! now a legend in motorsport.

Michael has brought F1 to where it is today - for better or for worse.

He is an amazing driver. Even though im a huge Honda F1 Racing supporter, i will miss him. Sundays wont be the same without him.

All the best MS

Some sad sad news. One of the greats in motoring sport will definitely be missed by many.

[LUD02C]

yah... i thought he'd do opposite n race on!! BUT ne1 hear rumours abt him buying out his own team for next season? possibly that new team replacing Mf1 under the VW/AUDI (german) flag? rumours only though.. but nevertheless interesting!

That rumor has been around since about 2001 I think it was.
Schumacher claims absolute no truth in that.
I would love to see VW/AUDI team in F1, but not under Schumacher

[Zdster]

What I think will be interesting over the next few years is who will fill the void and whether it will become very onesided (like a few years ago). Is Alonso going to steal the show and who is going to be a rival?

If you go here:

You can see Schumacher's career in photo's with a few sentences of what is happening and what happened that year.
Its not in great detail, but still good.
