Farewell
All good things in life come to an end though we would wish it to be otherwise. In this respect, the retirement of Michael Schumacher does cast a shadow depriving the world of F-1 of one of its brightest champions.
A man to whom you cannot remain indifferent to. You had to like him or hate him. I for one have an avid fan of the great fan. My interest in F-1 began with him and i fear may end with him. I have admired him for the total ice control that he had as well as an unflappable attitude behind the wheel. Also the utter ruthlessness of his performance was another facet of the great man. A 7 time world champion as well as the holder of many records, he still fought till the last race of his career showing many that he still is good enough to beat most of the competition.
In a way, it is fitting for a giant of Schumacher's stature to retire this way. Even his critics would have to say that the man went out with a bang, in style rather than a whimper as sportsmen generally tend to do.
