i followed Schumacher through all his career. never became a huge fan but could have if he would have been as relaxed he's now back then. it's the end of an era.
and it's tough to cheer for someone like Vettel who could technically almost be my son (agewise) 
but if he becomes 3 times champion in a row it's not just the car - he must be a pretty good driver too. and he's german. ;) |
Schumacher was a beast.. Some of his best races were back when he was driving that Ford for Benton which only had a V8 and was the most under powered car out of any of the F1 teams and he still won races.
I think the race that cemented it for me was when he was driving the Ford and he started losing gears in the transmission. He ended up finishing 3rd and only had 3 gears left at the end of the race and he actually led for quite awhile when he first started having problems.
He even made a pit stop with the broken transmission. After that race I knew he was gonna be one of the all time greats.
