Can't say I blame him. Probably compete in Indycar next year.

Not really surprising as he has just not had the car to match his abilities since he joined Mclaren. It seems that for quite a lot of his career he has been in uncompetitive cars which is a shame given his skills as an F1 driver.

Yes, shame that he was not able to complete at the sharp end for much of his later career but this is rather telling: https://www.planetf1.com/news/massa-...as-schumacher/

What a way to bow out of F1, all three world champions Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso (x11 between them) performing donuts on the start/finish line was great. Even the cool down lap with all 3 side by side parading round was great to see, F1 without these 3 drivers won’t be the same.
