It really seemed like Michael doesn’t want to retire. Winning the Italian grand prix, closing down to within two points of Alonso, it seemed like it was almost the happiest moment of his life – why doesn’t he want to go on winning? They itv-team hinted a few times at the idea that Ferrari almost pushed him out, and he seemed to suggest it too, mumbling something about Massa and it not being fair on him, and then praising, but not naming, the man Ferrari signed (some time ago, it appears) to replace him: Raikkonen. It makes me think, as I posted earlier this week, that he might retire, but the urge to race will be too strong and he might come back. It will certainly be hard, as they said, to fill that void in his life.
