Formula 1 A legend has left the scene! An era has ended. Michael Schumacher drove today in his last GP, in front of millions of fans, who have been by his side from the beginnings of his 16 year and 250 GPs long Formula 1 career. Due to numerous technical problems he finished 4th and didn't have the chance to ritire as he would have deserved: as a world champion. Formula 1 will never be the same without him... More to come on this topic.
