Is it true that MS was forced out at Ferrari? When they hired KR for 07?

Would be poetic justice if he took JT with him to Renault and won a few more WC (IMO).

He's still got it (IMO).

Schumi, just flat out lies to us and says it was never intentional.

Whether or not that makes Senna more honorable then Schumacher or not, I don't know. That debate could go on forever.

Either way, a brillant career comes to an end.
I agree with you that a brilliant career has comes to an end and that the debate can go on forever - and it will....

I don't think so - he has indicated that he wants to remain with the team in some capacity. Don't think he would want to do that if he was forced out.

Doesn't he have a partial ownership position in the Ferrari team?

That this makes for a great silly season question.

Now that FA is going to McLaren, and JT is taking a leave of absense. Could it be that Schumi will be the new Renault driver for 07?

Remains to be seen. He does not need the money. He just may do it to prove a point.

As Matrix said, MS has already indicated he will have a position at Ferrari. You don't suppose they might have seen he has an outstanding ability to get a team to work together do you?

I had said after Monza that this championship says a lot about MS, and it did.

While he wasn't able to pull off his 8th WDC, the second-half of the season was simply incredible. How he was able to chase to tie Alonso in points before Suzuka, and his last race battle back to 4th (with some generous help from the not-so-fast's) says a lot about this champion. I give credit where it's due, and I was impressed by MS.

Grazie Michael

Quit your childish bickering and tone the language down please.

Too many complaints about both of your postings.

If it continues this will be binned
What brought this on? I obviously missed something...

Shumi's last drive was amazing! I hope he comes back.

You were not here yesterday, AquilaEagle one of the site administrators had to go in and delete a few replies from a few people because they fell within the realm of offensive/disrespectful/obscene. AquilaEagle was not saying anything about MS or F1.
