And Jean Todt is the new CEO whom Schumi will be assisting. These guys are going from racing jumpsuits to business suits. It's good that Todt and Schumi are staying to help develop F1, rather than simply retiring and doing bugger-all.

"There was a lot of pressure, and a lot of anger inside me as well," said the Spaniard, who is off to McLaren at the end of the year having spent the past five seasons with Renault.

"There had been things we did not understand, that seemed unfair and against the sport, and we had to take victory to show that the sport always comes out on top in the end, and that the good guys do win."

WTF does he mean good guys win? So all the rest of the field are bad guys?

Yeah and thats sad because if they had the regulations we have now in those days we wouldn't have gotten so far with F1

So this is bad for the future :x
