We have been remiss in following Formula 1 the last few years, but Michael Schumacher‘s decision today to retire is the end of an era.

Despite the critisim that he is arrogant, we see past this superficial view to see the absolute brilliance that he encapsulates. Regardless which team he drives for, and which start position he takes, he always impresses, and he shall be remembered as (in my limited knowledge of the sport) the best ever driver in the history of F1.

Goodbye, Michael (may I call you Michael?), and thank you.
