Summary:"SCHUMI and Ferrari'' read the giant banner opposite the pitch. "La poesia continua''. Not for much longer. Michael Schumacher has decided to bring the long-running poem of his Ferrari career to an end at the close of the season, and Monza yesterday was a temple in mourning. The long goodbye - and the lengthy speculation that has preceded it - will give Ferrari's faithful time to get over the loss. When the Australian Grand Prix comes around next year and Kimi Raikkonen takes to the track in the leading Ferrari, most of the team's followers will probably have come round to the view that there is life after Schumacher after all. He has chosen a good time to go: fighting for the world championship and close to the peak of his formidable powers. Formula One will certainly seem strange without that familiar scarlet helmet on the grid. When Schumacher joined Ferrari from Benetton 11 years ago, he brought with him flair, skill, remarkable fitness and an organisational ability unusual in a young driver. All of those qualities served him well at the Italian team.
