Michael Schumacher’s ‘second career’ in F1 comes to an end when this season closes
Sep.28 (GMM) In the wake of the announcement that Lewis Hamilton will be racing for Mercedes as from 2013, at the same time the curtain on the ‘second career’ of Michael Schumacher is set to come down.
The future for Schumacher is unclear with the German admitting that his comeback from retirement had not worked out as well as he had hoped.
“I have had three nice years with the team which unfortunately did not go as well as we all would have wanted on the sporting side,” he said in a statement.
“I wish Lewis well and for the team to achieve the success we worked so hard for in the build-up. I would like to thank the team for their trust and all the guys for their unconditional commitment. I will now concentrate on the next races.”

What is there left to accomplish anyway Michael?
Go home and be a family man.
What’s even more exciting than Lew Hamilton in a Mercedes? Seeing Schumacher back in a Ferrari!
Time to call it a day. I can understand why MS would want to give it another go, but there is a time and place for everything.
eventually the body will fail. It happens to everyone in whatever profession they might have.
For me, it was hard to give up a 21 year military career. A persons body gives you all the signs and we just have to listen. Deciding to call it a day was the hardest decision of my life. We all have to go through it. every one of us.
For Christ’s sake it’s not like Schumey has to run around and say “I coulda been a contender.”. The man really has nothing more to prove.
I’ve never been a MS fan but his record totally stands alone and pretty much proves it.
cant u guys put a better picture of msc?

At what time are u living…. Schumi is past, y can’t u schumi fans get over it..he was a great driver , achieved everything a formula 1 driver could.. y should ferrari give a damn about schumi this late in his career.. ferrari gave everything in those years when schumi won his championships with the team..
Ferrari owe it to Schumacher big time, to offer him a year.If it wasn’t for him they would still be scraping the barrel.
I am glad he is leaving Merc GP,I wish he had never gone there.

Actually, Felipe just signed a one-year contract with Ferrari, so he’ll stay put for 2013.
Also, Ferrari said they’re more likely to hire Alberto Ascari than bringing Schumacher back.
Ferrari will pair Alonso and schumi!
About time.
Schumi can help Caterham or HRT.
What if Ferrari takes him !!!!
