He's done more for F1 than anyone else in history. . . with the possible exception of the current stewards who are doing everything in their power to sensationalize the hell out of the championship. It wouldn't even surprise me to find out they sabotaged Alonzo's car so the engine would blow up just to make the driver's championship closer. I'm utterly disgusted with the stewardship's arbitrary and selective enforcement of the "rules" this year. Schumi's getting out at a good time before F1 becomes its own worst enemy between that and the idiotic homolagation rules regarding no engine upgrades for five years. Utter bunk.

Anyway, I've always admired Schumi's legacy as a driver. He has put up the big numbers but the big asterisk next to his name will be "but at what cost"? He's a terrible sportsman, completely arrogant and generally a jackass. But he is a good driver. He's kind of like most of the Dallas Cowboys in that regard - good players, but the biggest d1ckheads out there. Ultimately not worth rooting for. Though I respect the talent, I think it's ultimately wasted.

F1 will be better for his having been here. . . and for his leaving.
