I think Schumacher should have continued into 2007. Retired a year to early my opinion he showed incredible pace in Brazil which proved he still had it and pulled off an amazing overtaking manoeuvre on Raikkonen. His Pace in Brazil was awesome incredible.
I always think the true measure of a champion and their quality as a driver is not when they are winning with a good car but if they can win without a good one.
That is why Michael will always be the greatest of all time imo. Those early bennetton seasons and Ferrari seasons (96, 97, 05 - the exception and 06), he was still competing
Kimi Raikkonen drove really well in 2006 he would have won races if the car wasn’t unreliable he had some bad luck and he crashed into the back of Liuzzi in Hungary.
He had a left rear puncture in Turkey 2006 that he picked up from turn one someone punctured his left rear with there front wing that damaged Raikkonen’s Rear Wing. He came out the pits bit went straight off into the barrier.
