Schu has retired again
Discussion

I quite enjoyed seeing him in F1 again.
Whilst I'd agree that there are perhaps younger, more dynamic drivers out there, Schu brought a bit of character to the pack.
Will he stay on in the sport in a management/support role, do we think?
Me too. He has enhanced his legacy. The records will never be changed. Not for this first time do I see things differently to the PH MSC naysayers.Whilst I'd agree that there are perhaps younger, more dynamic drivers out there, Schu brought a bit of character to the pack.

F1 will be less interesting as a result of no MSC in the future listings.

I'm an admirer of Schumacher. However, I'd rather see a hungry youngster given a chance in a top team. Rather that one of the true greats merely going through the motions. I don't think that Shuey added much to the show, this season.F1 will be less interesting as a result of no MSC in the future listings.
I'd rather see him retire from F1 right now.

He's still good enough to win in F1. He's been a match for Rosberg for the last 2 seasons, so if Rosberg is good enough then so is Schumacher.
As to legacy, in F1 you don't lose race wins or championships if you have a poor season or 2. And they are what count.
No-one remembers Mansell for his awkward comeback, and he even won a race in that comeback.

That's exactly the way I see it. Who to support now. Quite like Kimi and his don't give a st attitude, but I expect that extends to fans as well.F1 will be less interesting as a result of no MSC in the future listings.

And as for his well documented car-developing skills?? The car has went backwards over the 3 years.
And before any fanboys have a go, just give me some examples of how he has "enhanced" his legacy.
P.S. He has just said himself that he was dissapointed that he could not help develop the car and also understands the criticism of his performances. I guess thats one positive then.

Its a shame was really hoping he would have gone to Sauber or Ferrari for a year, would have been nice to see him get a win, maybe we can hope for a podium in the last 6
The world does not really need another F1 win for Michael Schumacher, it would be a drop in the ocean for his career tally and merely obstructive for the careers of those on the up. Wanta996Gotta said:

I asked what has he done to enhance his reputation since he came back?

What else would you expect a fellow proffesional F1 driver to say?? He is Sh#t now that he doesnt have an FIA backed dominant car that can lap the whole field and win races in 1 gear?

not much! people have talked about the fact that he got pole at Monaco, although he was penalised 5 places for crashing into the back of Senna at the previous race. Its a good job he learn't his lesson from that mistake....oh hang on a minute...I asked what has he done to enhance his reputation since he came back?
I have a lot of respect for Schumacher. In an era where physical fitness reigns supreme in a driver, he's done well to still cut it with the best at, dare I say, his elevated years.
He's also followed what he wants to do and not bowed to negative press. Shame he didn't get another win but hey-ho, he's had his fair share over the years.
F1 needs its characters rather than a grid almost entirely made up of corporate clones.
