I agree, but I dont blame him.
If I repeat myself, I think one of the hardest things any man (let alone a great man) can do is look deep inside himself and know in his heart he isnt up to the job and call it quits.
Schumacher aged 50 could get in a car and go round a second off the pace, and Schumi today to get into that car and go round in 10-15
But he has no interest in that.. if he isnt in with a chance to win, he was never going to come back. I think he took a long hard look at himself, the car, his fitness, everything else - and didnt think he could win a race this season, and on those terms he said "forget it"... I say fair play to him
The greatest driver in my lifetime will probably always be Senna, Schumi is a close second.
