If ralf does not get signed for next year, where do you think he will end up? I know it won't be nascar because he wants to stay in europe. I personally want he to stay in f1, he has tons of fans, he just does not have much confidence in his car

I don't want him to stay in F1. Nothing great from him or Toyota. Why not give the younger drivers a chance?
He's been connected to Spyker as a consultant.

I think he will retire for good. I know that most drivers who join F1 have one intention- to become a world champion. But as for Ralf, I'm a little confused.
Sometimes he drives extremely well and is unstoppable. Then sometimes he appears to be not focused and drives terribly. It is very extreme. Of course no one likes losing; everyone wants to come first but Ralf- it's like he doesn't care whether he ends up last on grid or second last.
With Ralf's attitude, no matter how good he actually is and can be, it'll all go to waste. A sportsman needs to have the right attitude and focus- it's a pity that Ralf doesn't really have that.

I would like Ralf to remain in Formula 1 next year, too, but it seems he won't, at least not as a driver. DTM is a solution for him, but I heard that nobody wants him there. The principal from Audy said something like: ''DTM is not a leaking pool of all the frustrated people from Formula 1''. On one hand I think he is right, but on the other hand I feel sorry, because Ralf Schumacher has a name and a fame.

Yeah, DTM comes to mind as a place he could do well, and there is also sports car racing: the LMS and of course LeMans itself.
I think Ralf is a good driver. He's also past his prime in F1, but has lots for DTM or LeMans.

I read one of the DTM teams was interested in his services.
Whether he will take up the offer or not is another matter.
I feel sorry for Ralf sometimes. I'm sure he is much nicer when things are going well. He certainly ain't a saint when his car is not fast and pointy enough.

IMO, Ralf Schumacher's only options are to go to the DTM-Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters-the German Touring Car Championship-or possibly to LMES or ALMS. He won't go to NASCAR-he'd have to take a pay cut! LOL!

i would love to see Ralf stay in F1. When his machinery performs well, he performs well. My sister is his biggest fan and she said he would probably go to DTM with Mika.

Ralf should honestly try ChampCar.

It's unlikely that he will be signed on next year. He was only good for a few years in his Williams then.
