You could see this coming. And I for one see this as a very good thing for him.
He has proven to much more successful at running a car team than as a driver.
He was a lot better in the broadcast booth than many would have guessed.
He has to know one more impact, and he is altered for the rest of his life.
He was put in an impossible situation with impossible expectations. He is not his father, and no son should be expected to emulate and surpass the old man. I live this everyday with my two sons.
Good decision.
