Ralf Schumacher Kicks Toyota's F1 Team To the Curb

Germany's Ralf Schumacher announced he will leave the Toyota Formula One team at the end of the season, saying it was time to move on but without revealing where.

"Having been a Toyota driver in the past three years, I opted for looking for a new challenge," Schumacher's personal website quoted him as saying in Shanghai ahead of Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix.

The 32-year-old, younger brother of Ferrari's retired seven times world champion Michael, did not say whether he intended to stay in Formula One.

"I'm going to have several conversations in the coming weeks. I will announce my decision when the season is over," he said.

Don't you find that a tad bit disrespectful, let alone, dishonest?

Everyone with a brain knows Ralf was on his knees begging for a drive at Toyota. He was horrible this season and Toyota did the right thing by not signing him. Bring in some young talent.

He just carries bad "ju ju" with him. Everywhere he goes, his car always seems to have issues. Must be indicative of his personal life.
