How A Champion Exits
16 years of career, 250 races, 91 wins, 7 World Championships... Making him statistically The Most Successful driver in the history (and The Most Successful if you ask me).
Starting the last race of his career from 10th position, he shoots to 5th position before needing a pit-stop due to left-rear puncture. Coming back on the track in last (19th) position, again maneuvers around the circuit in his characteristic style, gaining 4th position. Though he did not win the race, nor the championship and did not make it to the podium, the Red Baron did show us what true champions are made up of...
I had dearly wished for a rainy race this time. That would have been a fitting adieu to Regenkönig before he hangs his steering... He is leaving too large a cockpit for anybody else to fill.
Here's to the Red Baron, the Regenkönig, the champion strategist and the most (controversially) successful driver of F1 history!!!
And here's wishing our own little champ follows his example...

Keshi.
Liked your way of writing :)) How much F1 do you watch? And now after him who's going to be your favourite?
LOL@Keshi .. giving you assurance :P
yup.. good last race.. though didnt end on podium..but he was more in highlight than anyone else...
next champion - alonso.. ????
i think raikonen in ferrari is going to be a force to reckon with
@Keshi: Enjoy the wedding... Surprising enough (or actually, not sursprisingly), Michael is one of the proponents of safe road-driving. But given that he is german, even zooom might be legal ;)
@Cuckoo: Normally people don't tend to disappear without comment when they are dealing with me;)
Anyways, after Michael? As I said, he is leaving too big a cockpit to fill... not sure even the new Flying Finn the Second can fill it, but he is good bet.
@Sid: Last race... was "his" race through and throgh.
Next champ? See reply to Cuckoo...
Good drivers in Ferrari are very hard to beat, unless Ferrari messes things up, like happened in this race.
