Well today Michael Schumacher retired as arguable the best formula one driver ever. It is like the end of an era, I've seen all my favorite sports personalities retire, first Elway then Osbourne and now Schumacher.
There is a lot of things being said about about Michael. He did what all that strive to be and do become successful, do. He did all it took to win. Sometimes he went over the line, and in the real world that is sometimes what it takes to be the best. Look at sports figures, Jordan for example, ever heard of the Jordan rules? People may say that Michael Schumacher went to far at times, but that happens when you are pushing the envelope. Was Michael right all the time? Not at all. It is just that most people don't make such descisions and don't make them in as public an arena.
If more people on this planet had the drive that Michael has and the focus that he can muster, it would be a far better place. That is what makes him so special.
I am a fan of his and I know many others dislike him. But no matter your feelings you can't argue with his numbers.
Michael did something that no one else in Formula One has or probably ever will. He won and won and won. Formula One will lose one of it greatest champions in as little as 3 races. His true brilliance will on be realize when he is gone.
