Will Micheal Schumacher retire at the end of this years season?

Question

give reason for ure answer

Answer 1

I don't believe he will, if he does not win the title this year, but if he does then he most probably will.

Answer 2

If he wins the Monza Grand Prix and reduced the gap to Alonso significantly (by that I mean not just a couple of points, but enough to give him the confidence that he can make up for the rest in the 3 remaining races after Monza), then he will announce retirement at the end of the season which he shall win (or atleast he thinks he will). If, after Monza race, he is still 12 or more points behind, then the chance of him winning the title is very small, and therefore, he will come back next year to try to win the championship.
If he has no intention of retiring regardless of winning the title this year (or not), he would have announced his intention long time ago. Instead, he has been waiting around to see if he can win this year. Why not wait until the end of the season? It's because the Kimi's camp wants to know before then...otherwise they will turn their back on Ferrari...so Monza announcement is really a deadline imposed on Michael by either Kimi's management or Ferrari or both.
Personally, I want to see Michael continue for another couple of years. Didn't he renew his contract with Deutsche Vermogenswhatever (his cap sponsor) until 2010? I hope he will keep going til then!

Answer 3

Michael Schumacher will be back (with Ferrari) in 2007 whether or not he wins the driving title this season. Had Ferrari not sorted out the engine problems that plagued the team early in the season and if he had a season like 2005, I think he would have retired. However, when he's not winning races, he's consistently finishing in points-paying positions and he still likes what he's doing.
I believe there will be a definitive answer to your question at the Monza Italian Grand Prix.

Answer 4

If he wins the drivers' championship, and if Ferrari also win the constructors' championship, yes.

He will be able to retire at the top and Ferrari will not hold him to his contract.

He would have shown the world that he can still do it. Not only in terms of driving, but also help develop a machine that can rival Renault's which seemed so superior early on.

Ferrari would not mind because they can turn to Raikkonen, a ready made replacement in terms of driving skills.

If he wins the driver's championship but Ferrari don't win the constructors', then chances are a bit smaller, but unless Ferrari can persuade Raikkonen to wait an extra 2 years (and risk him hitting it well with Alonso), Schumacher is still likely to retire.

If he doesn't win the drivers championship, then he will still stay on to try finishing on a high next year especially as all cars will be running on similar tyres and Alonso will no longer be in a Renault.

Answer 5

in my opinion the answer is certain, no matter if I actual were a schumi fan all my existence, he's had his time and is combating different, youthful drivers of their f1 careers to reinforce by him having the race seat, e.g. sutil must be mind-blowing in the mercedes fairly of being stuck with a mid variety crew. he's rusty at modern is schumacher and it truly is proved by using rosberg destroying him each weekend, we ought to not ignore although that the guidelines have replaced for schumi in view that he retired, diverse tyres, wings, engines, diffusors and so on all play a component in his downfall this 365 days. He has 7 international titles already, what more beneficial does he imagine he can benefit now? in basic terms favor to function on he do not have retired even as he changed into at ferrari in the first position, then i have self assurance he ought to nonetheless of route be on the prancing horse crew and nonetheless be prevailing championships, he retired too quickly!!

Answer 6

He will not retire at the end of the season. He has a contract with ferrari till 2008. So he is not expected to retire as he still enjoying racing.

Answer 7

Apparently, all will be revealed at Monza. Look at this and see what you think, though.

Personally, I don't think Michael will retire even if he does win the championship this year. Since this can't be guaranteed by the next race, I think he'd want one more year to get another title. I think it would be great to have Kimi and Michael together next year although this would mean dropping Felipe to a test role. Maybe, he's been promised to be brought back in 2008?

Answer 8

My guess is that he is indeed retiring at the end of this season. And the reason is his recent performance. He threw out the window too many points in the WDC to have a quite reaistic chance; this shows he is losing his motivation to drive a F1 car.

Answer 9

I think he will retire. He certainly doesn't need the money and he's got enough glory. I think he will quit while he's still ahead. The only way from here is down.

Answer 10

I believe he intends to retire. His body language with Massa suggest he is in the process of passing the mantle, and that's probably what his wife and kids would like.
