Ecclestone: Schumacher could retire after ’06

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone said on Friday he would not be surprised if Michael Schumacher retires this year. "I wouldn't be surprised," Ecclestone told reporters at the Autosport International show. "He's done very well, hasn't he, and probably gets a bit tired of chasing around the world." Ecclestone admitted he had not talked to the seven times world champion, but you know Bernie hears things as he has his finger on everything in the sport.
