Berger: Schumacher will go away after 2012 F1

Former McLaren and Ferrari driver Gerhard Berger be expecting that seven time world champion Michael Schumacher will stop his F1 career at the end of the 2012 season. The German Schumacher, who first leaves the Formula 1 in 2006 previous to making his comeback two years ago, is toward the inside the final year of his agreement with Mercedes GP.

The Champion has fight back to opposition the pace of team-mate Nico Rosberg so far, even though the 43-year-old's performances did start to pick up towards the end of last season. In last season Schumi had done 54 points, but its 13 points behind his guy German Nico Rosberg.

I do not think he will extend his agreement. At this point I think it will be sufficient, The Austrian told Auto Moto und Sport. He has no option beside Rosberg. He will have to acknowledge that at more than 40 years old he cannot beat a young driver at his level.

A general view on international car shipping

With the development of various types of technologies today it is possible for us to transport any type of vehicle to remote distances and in overseas countries too. Several reasons are attached as why one requires the service of Car Shipping. People hire such movers so as to fulfill the job of moving their vehicles from one place to another in a professional manner. Transporting your vehicle with them it is of sure that your shipment is going to be secured and safe as it will be handled with utmost care.

Such movers turn to be as international vehicle mover as for the reason they perform the task of moving vehicles from one country to another country. The act of moving vehicle on one’s own will be quite terrifying and inconvenient. Hence at such point of time hiring the services of such movers will make your job of moving much easier and safe too.

Business ventures can ask for the service of car shipping if in case it is shifting its place of business to another place; and showrooms can also utilize their services for the sake of shipping their show cars from the car makers.
