Future of Schumacher

[Ganxxta]

Schumacher has given a message to the media:
I want to thank the whole team for the wonderful 3 years. I have enjoyed the driving and working with the Mercedes team. unfortunately it had to end in a unsportive way.

Now he just has been thrown out. That i believe is for sure.

The one who dissapointed me the most is Ross Brawn; i had never expected that he would sell his soul to the devil.

He really said that? If so, finally he sees it too.

BTW. Why are you guys seeing Sauber as a bad option?
Peter Sauber and MSC are good friends, he started his career with him.
The Team would surely like the media attention and money from MSCs sponsors.
The Team has some fighting spirit, you say they are always midfield, maybe yes, but they try every year to do their best, they try different solutions, although they are short on money compared to Mercedes.
And last point, I think everyone in the team would welcome a MSC, this wasn't and isn't the case in Merc.

And from MSCs point of view, whats the difference if you are 8th with a Merc or 8th with a Sauber?
The Sauber team won't say "what happened there?"^^

dude understand MIcheal had chance to sign this Contract with Merc earlier in season but he didn't want!! so Mercedes was forced to find another driver next year.
You talk no-sense here..... and refuse to face reality. look around you and wake-up!!! This guy choose to retire none force him. Not anyone's fault that he changed his mind on the way .....

Just a PR spin to cover their a$$es. Until only yesterday they were not committed to CA which I suppose was what Michael was waiting for. But the speed of events after signing indicates everything has been arranged long before.

I cannot find Schumacher pulling these words..unsportive...

I think he just did not want to continue with them failing to deliver the goods -he could have easily signed long ago as the team has confirmed...so either he has private reasons or he had issues with MGPs potential for 2013 and possibly 2014.which would not be removed till october.

I agree.

At least the Sauber doesn't eat its tyres for lunch - a problem the Brackley unit is having every single season.

If it is true that Mercedes offered Michael a new deal and he has refused to give an answer, the logic question is, why?

If he is driving well, if he has had his best performences since 2010 I would like to know why he has so many doubts. For me, the true reason is that he doesnt like a lot of things that has seen/suffered inside the team. Because its quite logic to think that with the new staff and windtunnel the WO4 can be much better, so there has to be a hidden reason to explain Michaels attitude.

because he want to retire but change his mind in last weeks.

also Schumacher manager said that

His manager Sabine Kehm said: "Michael didn't stay at Mercedes because he wasn't sure he wanted to drive and that didn't change over time."

She insisted that Schumacher "would have been able to sign if he had wanted to earlier in the summer".

Will be better for all his fans if he really leave! i don't want to see him acting like a clown next year.

If F1 is trying to make cut-backs, perhaps they should look at binning Schumacher - his driving lately is costing his own team and others a lot of money!

What I'm trying to say is: Bin Schumacher, and we can all watch V12 F1 racing again

Let's get our quotes right, shall we?

I have had three nice years with the team which unfortunately did not go as well as we all would have wanted on the sporting side.

C'mon, folks. "Unsportive" isn't even a word.

What good reason can you find for that to happen apart for the fanboyism? I mean pertinent, solid reasons, not that "he is good" / "he still has something to prove" / "he still can do it".

Kimi went away for 2 years to drive something completly different and came back as he wasn't gone at all. Alonso had a dog of a car at the start of the season and still managed to pull it off and be on 1st place at the moment.

With all the respect for MSC, I already written on the forum that I am a fan of him because he is the one that made me follow F1 and I grew up with him in his golden Ferrari ages, but I think he should step out of F1 after this 3 very modest years. People need to be realistic.

Nonsenses, he puts the feelings aside, one of the keys of his alltimes success.

It was unsportive of you to call him out so brusquely. Where has your sportiveness gone?

Seriously though, I wonder if MSC is feeling a little lost and confused right now.

Yes. This had occurred to me. A year or two of Mick could be really good for Sauber. It is a game of swings and roundabouts, however, so a bright young star might get the nod over him.
