Michael Schumacher navigates turn 8 during the 2001 US Grand Prix

Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher has announced that he will retire after this season, ending days of serious speculation. He made the announcement after winning the Italian Grand Prix at the famed Monza race course for his ninetieth win. Probably the only record that Schumacher does not hold is age at the time of victory and championship; he would need to race for another decade before equaling the great Juan Manuel Fangio.
