Maybe not, he is reported to have made around 600 million, though he has given a lot to charity and obviously spent a lot too. And as Onassis said "if you can count how much money you have, your not rich" Wonder if not knowing how much your in debt means your not poor

F1 would have been better for the last 6 years without him! |

Michael was the worst thing to ever happen to F1. He was too self centered to be good for the sport. |

Why would he regret ANYTHING he has done? He has 7 titles, 2 more than anyone else, holds just about every individual record and has earned millions of dollars doing what he loves. He's left F1 while he was still (almost) at the top. What if he'd carried on for another year but had lost the motivation that made him such a great driver? That would be his regret. |

The thought of Michael coming out of retirement sends shivers down my spine....... The best part of my life watching F1 has been partly wasted thanks to him....... As for the Adelaide incident, why would he regret that?! After all it was a 50/50 racing incident was it not!!!!! Well if you believe the last sentence you will believe anything, Michael only regrets the stuff he got punished for, plain and simple. Regretting the Adelaide incident would just cement his guilt, I'm quite sure the guy knows fine that the 1994 incident was a disgrace, but fair enough the man with no integrity got away with it. |

There are a lot of self centered people in F1, you cannot be successful in F1 without being very self centered. The main difference is Shumi had the ability and team to back it up. |

Damn right my north of the border friend. I only hope that with his gone, we can see a return to those glory days pre-Schu. |

I don't see the Monobrow and the rest of the F1 grid of drivers respecting even their team as much as MS respected his Ferrari collegues either with him at race day or at the factory. As for any driver giving a toss about the rest of the sport..............try getting a pit lane/pre race grid pass when your only a petrol head instead of a 'celeb'. They are all self centred and Bernie is the godfather of im all right jack. |
