Are they thanking him for being in the sport? Otherwise I don't get it.

I think is for his overall contribution to the sport. And also a farewell....

That's a nice gesture. Pele will honour him as well with a presentation of some sort.

How many of you are going to cry at the end of the race? I think I'll cry seeing Schu's last lap even though he won't win the WDC. If he had a chance to win WDC, I would have made the trip.

I will most likely be very very sad. Doubt I'll cry though.

Indeed... it actually surprises me a bit!

I won't cry...but I will be sad. He is one of the best in the world, but he is the best racer in MY time. So cheers for Michael!!!! and Also Cheers for BMW's Class Act!!! That is called good sportmanship.




on a side note...if anyone is going to cause Alonso trouble, I hope its the SuperBestFriends squad...LOL We all know Alonso is going to be holding a gun in his hands when he passes those two...LOL

Love him or hate him... it's still an end of an era in F1.

Why does it surprise you? BMW F1 management seems to be very open and I think this will bring them a lot of sympathy from f1 fans. Rember the "just married" message they had when Villeneuve got married

siko

Hmm, bad wording I guess... I meant it surprised me in a way that it was unexpected. First unexpected in terms that I myself quickly forgot that it's his last race, and second, I expected it more from Ferrari, not BMW.
