After 16 seasons, 248 races, 68 pole positions, 154 podium finishes and 91 wins, Formula 1 said goodbye to Michael Schumacher, as he retired today. He has had the most successful career in Formula 1 history ever! He is one of the most, if not the most, complete athlete of our time. He will be sorely missed.
