Schumacher is retiring =(


Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from Forumla One after the Monza Gran Prix today. Now a bit of what I thought of 'Schumi'......

I started watching forumla one when schumacher was still racing for the Benetton F1 team. I really admired him at that time because he won 2 consecutive championship in a seemingly weaker renault car. Then he moved to ferrari in 1996. Initially it wasnt all that smooth sailing. Most significantly he broke his leg in 1999 when his rear brake failed. He won the championship in 2000 and the rest, as everybody says, is history. He won a total of 7 world championship and recorded his 90th Gran Prix victory today at Monza.



Its sad during the press conference when he announced that he would retire from F1 at the end of the season. The career of the most successful driver in the history of F1 is coming to an end. On a happier note, ferrari have announced that Kimi Raikkonen will be racing for ferrari alongside Felipe Massa. The year 2006 will mark the end of an era for F1.
