Time for Schu to go? - 03-15-2006, 03:20 PM

I keep reading stories about M. Schumacher deciding he wants to continue racing into 2008 or later. He seems to have been quite motivated by his start to the season though I think he has lost a step or two after last year's disaster at Ferrari. So is it time for him to hang it up and retire to that new mega mansion he's building in low-tax Switzerland?

Heck no! He's proven that after all these years that he's still as competitive as ever, and until he fades away, I think it's up to him how long he should stay in F1.

Last week he showed that he still has superb driving skills, therefore I think that he should keep on rolling.

I think it's getting annoying as well. His manager is always talking about him being 99.9 percent sure about staying or going... Didn't Michael Jordan say that before he came back for a second time?

I can't edit the poll, Artist. Besides, I figured the 'Yes, I hate him' crowd would have voted to let Kimi retire his aging arse... If Kimi joins Ferrari, I think Schu will suffer that fate and will lose his chance to go gracefully....

One of the qualities that make a great sportsman is knowing when to quit. I believe the time for Schumi is soon upon us. Naturally, in the coming races he has the chance to prove me wrong...

I voted for yes. IMO, after this season, this is the best time for him to go. But if he wins the title this year, then he will be the absolute F1 God... Think of it...

Right now he has so great driver far up his ass that he is probably dead nervous for the next race. If he doesn't win this year he should leave the game.

Retirement is boring, especially at his income level.
I find it hard to believe Kimi gets any sponsorship money.
My friend does a great impersonation of him.
