After his Mr Bean like race at the Hungarian Grand Prix where he switched off his engine on the grid, sped in the pit lane, and eventually retired from the race, the question has to be asked should Michael Schumacher retire for the second time.
They always say never go back, but in 2010 after four years away from Formula One Schumacher joined Mercedes and has had a miserable time of it ever since, with just one podium in 49 races, a humbling experience for the man who is the most successful driver in the history of the sport.
As Formula One takes its annual summer break and won’t grace our screens again until September, I think the time is right for Schumacher to come to the realisation that he should bow out (again), and give a young driver the chance to finish off the season.
Surely the only reason he came back is to be competitive and win races and maybe even sneak another World Championship, so with that about as likely as hell freezing over, I think a second retirement is best not only for Schumacher, but for Formula One in general.
That way we can enjoy one of the best, most competitive seasons of racing ever with seven different winners and a four way scrap for the title, can’t believe I have to wait five weeks for another race.
