Michael Schumacher is basically Darth Vader out of Star Wars, everyone has agreed.
Bowing out of his 308th race by metaphorically hurling Fernando Alonso’s body down a big hole after the evil Spaniard had threatened to destroy the big day of the German’s adopted son, Sebastian Vettel, an exhausted Schumacher removed his helmet for the last time to survey the scene with his own eyes.
