I have said this in more than one occasion and I am glad to see that I was right and many others think the same way and are not afraid to express it, Schumacher was toast in last two years with Ferrari that’s why he gave up because he was unable to maintain a solid results, after that he came back with a new team and said he want’s to win the championship, a championship were his team car is only a second class car compared with McLaren, Red Bull and the Ferrari we’ve seen in the second part of the championship, furthermore there are three other world champions to beat on track. Alain Prost has said Michael Schumacher lacked the "humility" to set a realistic target for his 2010 return to Formula One.

Prost, who himself returned from a one-year sabbatical to regain the world title in 1993, said Schumacher’s stated aim of an eighth championship "was too high and unrealistic". Rather than battle for wins and the championship, Schumacher has been outpaced by his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

"He should have said he was coming back to help Rosberg, or Mercedes in its first year, or his friend Ross Brawn. It would have been easier for him," Prost told L’Equipe. "It may have been a lack of humility but I think he saw himself as more powerful than that.

"For me, it’s just a question of age. I think the tyres are just an excuse, because Schumacher always adapted to any sort of car. It was his great strength. It’s just not possible to return to the top after being away for three years at that age. It’s a matter of physiology."

And Prost’s comments were backed by Flavio Briatore, Schumacher’s boss at Benetton where he won the first two of his seven titles. "We know the Schumacher of Benetton and Ferrari," he told the Times of India. "We know him as a super champion. It was not a right decision on his part to make a comeback. If he continues next year, it will be the same story."

Also Prost added:  ‘I think the tyres are just an excuse, because Schumacher always adapted to any sort of car’, in other words, give up, go home and avoid further humiliation, he was a good driver once, but is long since then, and I might admin I’ve never liked the guy, and seeing him now struggling just to keep the car on track, being outrun by the Vitaly Petrof, Barrichello, Kubica and many others is great, that guy never knew when to give up, he still does not know, maybe he’ll learn we will see.
