    Unbelievably bad weekend. He'd been through the pits three times by about the fourth lap. <laugh>

    Does anyone know if he caused the aborted started by stalling, or whether he switched his engine off because it was aborted?

    Yep, Schumacher's version of events: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/101624

    I thought the drive through was because he gunned it down the pitlane after being wheeled off the grid...

    The last few races show that he desperately needs to retire or he will tarnish his "greatness" even further. He surely cant ever be considered best of all time anymore.

    He's not tarnishing his greatness at all. What he achieved in his "first" career was unprecedented in sport. I think people should understand (and perhaps Schumacher himself) that F1 had moved on greatly in the the three years he was absent and he's very much part of that past generation of which he is the only surviving member. Schumacher's career with Mercedes will merely be an epilogue in his biography to a stunning career.

    That said Mercedes were appalling this weekend. Bad calls made all round, no speed in the car. Terrible.

    I am used to the same **** from the same people now. But I well up when **** like this happens in a race, Brundle did say that car no.7 has been the most unreliable this season, with that only twice has Schumacher ruined his own race out of the 7 DNF's.
    Maybe his the potential 2013 season will be his last, but possibly his strongest in the 2nd coming to F1. Mercedes were weak, and it shows that money isn't everything, again watching Caterham mixing it with the mid fielders brought a smile back on my face.

    We all know/remember what he did for Ferrari, what he did against Senna back in Bennetton, and the bad moments he had.
    This man has played out his life infront of the TV cameras for all of us to judge (thinking we know best), like him or not, we are coming to the end of what has been an extraordinary/long career of a man enjoying what he does, he may be getting tired now and time may be running out, but one thing does not lack, and that is spirit, he has given himself to F1, and that may be his undoing.

    I can safely say,
    There will never be anybody like him again, have respect.

    He didn't just get it wrong, he utterly humiliated himself today. If Karthikeyan or Maldonado had done what Schumacher did today, people would be demanding that their superlicense was revoked.

    That's probably an exaggeration Tom, but such an elementary error from the most experienced driver on the grid is utterly humiliating &#8211; especially when he followed it up by speeding down to the end of the pit-lane, simply to have to wait for the field to reform.

    I'm sure the puncture was nothing but karmic rebalance, but his own errors went beyond nature getting even: they were utterly ridiculous!

    what did he do to Senna in the Benetton, other than use illegal electronic aids? And his Ferrari years, shouldn't that be changed to 'we all know what he did with his extra special Bridgestone tyres that his own team-mate wasn't allowed to use years'
