Schumi Retirement: Will F1 Popularity Suffer?
I'm not sure that popularity will suffer as I think there is a lot of talent both in the field at the moment, and also new talent coming through the ranks. I think this could be Raikonnen's year, and I really hope that he wins the championship this season

On the contrary - the popularity will increase when he retires !
If google made $1 everytime someone used them to find an answer to a tech support question, they would own microsoft.

I think F1 will benefit without Michael because it became so boring when he was constantly winning all the time. Now he has been beaten fair and square by the young guys and think retirement could be a reality soon.
However, although I don't support him I salute his talent and feel lucky to have been watching MS through his career. When my son grows up i'll be able to tell him all about it !

I hope not !

The guy is unfair, the guy is no sportsman, only results count no matter the price ! People forget single incidents, but the stats remain, stats say so many wins, so many titles and that is what will stay in the books. There are no stats about being pushed out of the gravel at Nürburgring, no stats about how many times Rubens was ordered to let him win, no stats on braking the gentleman's (huh ???) agreement between the teams about limited testing, no stats about how often he broke the rules (switching lanes too often, crashing into your title rival, etc)
Get the f*** out Scummi and leave the sport to fair sportsmen
</RANT>
Sorry
