i think ms is a bit diferent to nige. ms could easily go another 5 years and still out perform his car.

and he doesnt actually mention the Q word doe she?

"If I cannot win races and fight for the title, I believe that a large part of my desire to continue would diminish."

thats what happened in 05 and he didnt leave. the prospects of 2006 were enough to keep him.

You can't compare Michael and David! The thing with David is that he was playing 2nd with a truck load of pressure at McLaren, and now its like a rebirth of his career at Redbull. Redbull told him at the begininng of 2005 that theres no pressure, theyre not even really looking at race wins at this time and he performed at his best. I can see him riding Redbull to the top. But with Michael, all he is saying is that he doesnt want to hand around and be a hasbeen. He does have the potential to win, and he has a good car. If the time comes when he ends up like Hill in a crap car with no chance, he will retire. but while theres 1% of chance that he can win races and be competative for the WDC he wont go anywhere.

Exactly. Whenever Michael retires he can do so with his head held high. I think any driver would rather call it quits with the best possible legacy behind them; if you don't believe you can achieve anything more spectacular than you already have, then it's time to stand down.

yes i know but when it was 1st said vodafone would go to mclaren people said it was due to ferrari having a bad year even though it had nothing to do with 2005.

Now MS wants to leave ferrari if 2006 is bad people say this is ok, he would be stupid leaving ferrari for toyota unless he wants to prove he can win in another team. Just dont see y he would want to leave ferrari for toyota.

Just my view thats all.
