Good riddance, there's no excusing what he did to McLaren & Ron. He reaped what he sowed though as he found no one other than Zak Brown wanted him anywhere near their team. He's the architect of his own downfall.
Interesting, do tell.Seriously, I would like to hear your view ?

The lasting question is whether F1 is the worse for his absence and I think it will be sadly.
I think that's not a bad epitaph for his F1 career. The sport would have been the poorer for him not taking part.A letter to his younger self https://twitter.com/F1/status/1029438788261502976
I'll miss his passion, his enthusiasm and his love for F1. At times he's done crazy things which have enthralled us and at other times he's done crazy things which sully a sport I love. It's part of making it to the top that makes so many drivers selfish, arrogant sons of b

Is it just me or are McLaren and Fred being very careful not to use the word retirement?

Goodbye to the best F1 driver of a generation. Immensely talented and quick, he could and should have won more races and championships, but for a number of reasons, some external, some due to himself, and some just pure bad luck, 2 WDC is what he'll stay in history with. A living proof, if you ever needed one, that numbers don't tell the whole story...
+1 well said.F1 poorer without him
