Each year he suffers through another mediocre season is another layer of tarnish applied to his reputation. He needs be made redundant while his fans still remember him for the dominant driver he was, and not like some punch-drunk old prizefighter who kissed the canvas once too often.
Why does everyone worry so much about him tarnishing his reputation? If Michael is not worried about his established reputation why do yall?
Maybe Michael has been dain bramaged by too many shunts and too much exhaust fumes. At least one (2x) WDC agrees with my sentiment:
Hakkinen: Schumacher is 'dismantling his own legacy'
Retraction followed right after:
Mika Hakkinen has denied calling Michael Schumacher a 'tragic ex-hero' after the newspaper attributing the comments to him apologised.
This week, the Finn was quoted by Munich newspaper TZ as saying Michael Schumacher had made "a ridiculous mistake" at the start of the recent Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and should retire immediately.
TZ has now issued an apology and correction, admitting that the column had not been authorised by double world champion Hakkinen.
"The statements attributed to Mr Hakkinen, particularly in relation to Michael Schumacher, were not true and were not authorised. We regret this and apologise to our readers, to Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher, and as a consequence we are no longer working with the staff member concerned."

. Maybe we should talk about Lewis and flood this topic?
