Thanks to Michael...

...for all the years of watching him race. It's really been a pleasure, and today he put on some great passes (real confidence builder for Kimi!). I saw him race 6 times, win 5. There will be a big hole in F1 however much we all love to hate him.

totally agree.

I mean he is the one driver that gave the most to his fans, so many wins, so many championships and so much successs. He will be deeply missed as a racer in f1.

however since the result in suzuka it was apparent thaat the title wasnt to going to him, along with the misfortunes of qualifing and the tyre problem during the race it was clear that ferrari werent going to win the constructors championship.
still he drove a fantastic race, no one else in the field could stop him except his own fate.
farwell to the gratest f1 driver of all time.

Kind of weird that he gets a car that was ill-fated. I wonder what he will do with it?

Yes MS, thanks for the viewing pleasure! Now where will he pop up next?
