No. He is still driving well coming second in the championship. While you still see the occasional brain explosion such as at Monaco, he is still an all-time legend who has earned the right to make his own decision. If he felt that he could no longer be competitive, I am sure he would resign.
As at 2006, he holds the following records:
* Most race wins: 87
* Most race wins with one team: 68
* Most podium finishes: 149
* Most second place finishes: 43
* Most points finishes: 183
* Most pole positions: 67
* Most fastest laps: 72
* Most race wins from pole position: 39
* Most "clean-sweeps" (pole position, race win, and fastest lap): 21
* Most championship points: 1,317
* Most time between first and last race wins: 13 years, 11 months, and 3 days
* Only racing driver ever, in any racing class, to win 5 times a race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

No. He's a legend. He's still very good at it. If not, Alonso will be a one-sided winner, not too exciting if Michael is not around to watch. On the other hand, Michael is way better than his brother. Why retire?

properly, it is as a lot as him for sure. i imagine he's conscious Alonso or maybe Massa will now be trumping him better in many circumstances than he likes. He is conscious that he has a good shot on the call and constructor's this 365 days so may besides bypass for it from time to time get out even as the getting is sweet. He likely doesn't pick to bypass out in a season the position he became a non-ingredient. opposite to what he says (or doesn't say), Michael is amazingly conscious of his photo and his legacy and may have the want to make positive that his very last 365 days became aggressive. If he bows out now, it is certain.

No, not at all. It is just the bordom of the people which is causing this contravercy, there were some racers in the history who retired at the age of 46. Let Suchmi make his own history.

he's about 37 now so i'm sure he's giving it a thought. but i think this is not yet his last season, i'm betting next season will be his last though before he hangs up his helmet and put an end to a brilliant career. when that day comes, it will surely put a tear in my eye.

He's still competitive and capable of winning races and he still overuses `honestly' which is ironic; he'll never be remembered for an honest style of driving.
