Future of Schumacher

[Vasconia]

How about Schumacher to Williams? That could be a strong move for both parties involved.

I think Bottas is a done deal to be honest.

Michael and Maldonado? hahaha, I really like it.

What makes you think that Sauber will be competitive as this year ? think that frustration could support Michael if Hamilton would win the race and he would fight for P10-15.
This era with small teams fight for victories will end soon and Michael know that !. I don't want to see him fight for nothing.

guys its over ... last season for him lets hope for one win till end. Schumi will retire

ruined my day! Schumacher will retire. I think we all realise that the Sauber gains a lot of its performance from happening to be incredibly good on the tires, and has been since season start - but next year I expect the teams to make a step, and then those with the superior downforce and efficiency and drivability will come to the fore. Including Mercedes.

Very little change in regulations for next year.

I don't agree with this.

Sauber have proven they can think 'out-of-the-box' with their exhaust idea. If anything, I don't see Merc improving: for three (or four if you count Brawn) years they've shown they cannot get a handle on tyre degredation. Why should that change?

I think it will be a wise decision for Michael to step out and put an end to his already stellar career.

dude .... Merc will be much Stronger next year same Massa so Ferrari+Mclaren+Redbull+Lotus =8 place on grid. I know you are fan MIchael understand !! he will retire no matter what you want.

it's sad to watch a legend like him in this situation but he want that !!! he could announce his retirement few race ago.

[elf341]

I guess this will go down in the long history of failed comebacks. Although it depends how you look at it. Ross Brawn has credited Schumacher with being very important to how Mercedes has developed in the last 3 years - in particular, I think I remember Aldo Costa saying the temptation to work with Schumacher again was his reason for signing with Merc.

The results weren't there, but maybe the progress was. The team after all is almost unrecognisable from a senior engineer perspective, but also a technology perspective, than the team bought from Brawn.

I hope they can give Schumi a win before season end, but unfortunately imo his best chance was in Suzuka which after the 10 place will be very difficult.

It would be funny , if MSC goes to ferrari and Massa goes to Sauber ( although it is tacit that this is not going to happen ) coz its where both came from .

[jdlive]

I really hope he joins another team and dominates Mercedes next season.

Do you have the lottery tickets by any chance? I'm not referring to the ones supplied by Pirelli either.

Face the reality: MGP have humiliated him, he won't stand for that.

i want him to carry on 100% and i know and still believe he can win but realisticly theres only ferrari and sauber, in 2013 red bull, mclaren,lotus, ferrari and mercedes will have 1 champion each, sauber's not a front running team and ferrari won't sign michael, pray to god they prove me wrong by all means but it's just sad and unfair to see michael leave like this, he never got to drive in a front running car to show the world of what he was still capable of, i love f1 but if michael walks away i will too, he's the reason why i watch f1 even though it was tough watching this team called mercedes gp amg f1 pertronas what ever let him down. oh and i don't want to see michael go in a management role for mercedes they don't deserve him.

dude you must face the reality. you troll 2-3 weeks about how Michael will remain with Mercedes and how car suffer a failure last race when almost everybody said he will retire.
Still lie yourself when its clear...... i feel sorry for you ... too many disappointments in a week

Again, continually make up stuff as you so proudly do .

Where is it clear? Do you have a definitive statement? Of course you don't; don't get all high and mighty me with me kid.

[schumifan]

if he goes i will never watch f1 again - i stopped watching it when he left and watched not one single race - i will do the same again and will need to find something to entertain myself with on a sunday

maybe do some classic mx
