Schumacher is out

An era is over.
And era with different opinions as you ask people.
Schumacher will retire.
Pity? At last? The opinion is yours.
That is sure that he reached everything just can be reached in this thing of F1. He was in the bottom, and he was on the top, too. He’s a symbolic character, whose name is equal with F1. That’s another thing that when he was winning then how could he win, somtimes he wasn’t fair, and won like that.The F1 allowed him to make those kind of things that nobody else was allowed. Yes, sometimes against the rules, too. He knew the little doors, and he used them, too.
Against everything, he’s a talent, born to win, and work hard for it.
Next year he will disappear from the grid, but I don’t feel that he will leave so much space after himslef. The Tiffosis are for Ferrari, they will get a new hero, their religion will be the same. The average cheerers stands at the side of who win the most. In Hungaroring, 2004 the crowd was in Ferrari red, but in 2005 it was blue more than red.
Exceptions are the maniacs, and those, who select their heroes not just because they always win. They are the real F1 fan, not the „style monkeys”.
So, as I see, I won’t miss the „Schumacher feeling”

Of course, maybe there, and then I’ll come back to this theme, and apologize.
Until that: So long, and thanks Michael!
