Is it time for Schumacher to call it quits?

**brembo man** · 17th May 2012, 13:04

Nico has 41 points so far. The chin has develpoed 2 points so far for Mercedes and plenty of development in body and fender repair for the team. I can only inagine how bad he's driving for real, if even Ross can't maneuver him more points than Nico. Switch there cars, install a radio in Nico's car directly connected to Todt It's not the Merc, or the pirellis, it's those two whoppins he took from Alonso. He can't shake it off. On a more pleasant note , he is ahead of De LaRosa by two! And would his knees be able to hold up if he was to jump up and down on the podium?

Maybe Ross should make sure the wheels are fitted properly.

There's always the opportunity of driving the safety car.

They don't understand the meaning of respect.

The same MS that cut off the nose of Felipe in Canada, costing Ferrari points?

Respect? I see no comments that are disrespectful to his achievements at Ferrari?

I see plenty of what I would call disrespectful comments about some past Ferrari drivers here.

hahaha you take that well out of context but good effort (clue for you it was a joke in another boring Massa out thread), Kimi did suck that's why he got sacked, and that's being respectful

No one has yet called him Twomacher because he can't catch his teamate, or the pensioner now that he's in his 60s, or the moaner for his going on about team orders, oh! I meant to say the tires are whats ruining his races. IMO he's still loved here to the point that many want him to win before Ferrari. That's what should make a Ferrari fan so angry. Ferrari gave him a good ride whern he did all that winning. The car had something to do with it.

Given the almost reverential comments about eg. Senna on this site - a man who NEVER raced for Ferrari and in fact actually stopped us winning a championship - you'd think Schumi would be extended a little more courtesy and respect. Remember he left Benetton as a double world champion to come to Ferrari, helped turn the team around, and gave us the privilege of watching the history books being written. So he doesn't race for Ferrari any more, but we supposedly pride ourselves on our "history"... Really? Only until he cleared out his office apprently.

So a true Ferrari fan should be a MS fan too? Ferrari come first for true Ferrari fans I would believe. I see no comments that are anything about his time at Ferrari and nobody trying to change our history? How about Rubens? is he not part of the history yet he is ripped apart on here in general.

I think he perhaps got a lot more respect on here while he was still at Ferrari as an adviser. A lot of that respect dwindled when he went and signed for another team.
Okay, he was perfectly entitled to do that given his ties with Mercedes, and he had every right to do what made him happy if he wanted to race again - but you have to understand that people thought Michael was 'one of us', and him signing for a new team when people believed he would be linked to Ferrari forever maybe left a sour taste in some mouths.

I loved Michael at Ferrari and was really pleased he stayed on at the team in some capacity after retiring - and I can't speak for anyone else but MY rose-tinted spectacles certainly fell off a bit when he went to Merc.

Great post!

We must not forget that Ferrari owes to Schumacher (for the period 2000-2006).
But have you ever thought what he owes to Ferrari ???

IMHO, yes, it is time for (arguably the best that ever lived in F1), to enjoy his billions and retire...
