Alain Prost: Schumacher will quit

Alain Prost believes Michael Schumacher will quit his Formula 1 career at the end of the season. The Frenchman thinks the German will soon lose his hunger for success. Prost believes it doesn't matter if Schumacher can fight for the title or not.

"I think Schumacher will quit," the former World champion and F1 team owner told German magazine Sport Bild. "Whether he can win the title or not. Michael always tells everyone how much he loves racing but that will stop one day too. The same thing happened to Mika Häkkinen. He quit racing all of a sudden too.

Michael Schumacher himself still says he loves racing too much to quit it. Rumours even say he is renewing his contract at Ferrari.
