I thought the football shirt was a disgusting insult and whoever thought of it should be shot.
How dare they give a signed football shirt from the opposing football team to a great driver who is just about to retire.
Something from the relevant sport would have been better suited, not a football shirt. I know they are fairly valuable but to a guy who earns
millions each year and probably has a fair bit in the bank the value doesnt matter. Even the manner in which it was given and the sentiment behind it
were slightly tongue in cheek, which for the input schumis had into the world of F1, i dont think does justice. If they wanted to give a light
hearted going away present then why not give him one of the rear wings off the BMW's which had Danke Schumi or whatever they had on them, or a
piece off hills car when he ran into him. FFS dont give him a football shirt from the team that beat his national team.
The football shirt wouldve meant far more to Murray walker when he left, not Schumacher.
Disgraceful - and very sad to see ITV showing themselves up in the way that they did

First GP I've seen in a very long time.
Very entertaining, but the number of advert breaks started to get just a tad annoying
As stated by Martin Brundle, Shumacher was brilliant but flawed.
I liked his (MB's) comment that he wished he had won one less title and a few less pole positions to wipe out the negative incidents in a few of
his races.
Cheers

In that order?
Heres what Kimi thinks of the hype surrounding Schumis last race!

BT, I see you have Button up there very high and 2 british champions not even on the list. Button is a good driver, but even with a good package I
think he would struggle to be as good as Mansell.

Absolutely.
(Wasn't an original shirt, just a repro)
Not that they will read it, but I've emailed ITV to tell them what I think of them.

thought it was a great race and i think Schuey should have had one more season as i think he proved in this race he still has a lot of motivation and
is IMHO better than anyone else out there.....i know he did not get the championship but unusually the ferrari gave up which did not help. Maybe he
had made enough to pay his mortgage off and thought best get out now
