Schumacher's Formula 1 career came to an end today, and this is how he did it:

- He finished 7th
- in car nr. 7
- scoring a total of 49 (7x7) points
- with 49% (7x7) of these points scored from his 4 7th places
- 7 (all but 1) of his point finishes were non-podiums finishes
- got 7 DNFs this season
- has 7 WDCs

Any more?

[PoliFanAthic]

Hopefully not, because that's seven facts right there.

[ferrarijon123]

77 career fastest laps, does that count

[scheivlak]

He started 7th on the grid in his first F1 race....

And didn't he have 7 teammates? Lehto, Verstappen, Herbert, Irvine, Barrichello, Massa, Rosberg - or did I miss someone?

Does my prediction of Schumi's pole at Interlagos with a lap time 77.777 count?

Schumacher - 77.777

Guess the Pole 2012: Brazil

"Michael" has 7 letters in it

[dave34m]

Was just seen at 7.07pm walking into a bar with 7 girls, one of which looked at least 7 years younger than him

[my_own_shadow]

And of course don't forget that Michael started his F1 carrer with 7th place on the grid at Spa on 25 August 1991.

[bonneville]

7 teammates?
More like 11 teammates!

Let's do the count:

1. De Cesaris 1991 Jordan
2. Piquet 1991 Benetton
3. Brundle 1992 Benetton
4. Patrese 1993 Benetton
5. Verstappen 1994 Benetton
6. Lehto 1994 Benetton
7. Herbert 1994-1995 Benetton
8. Irvine 1996-1999 Ferrari
9. Barrichello 2000-2005 Ferrari
10. Massa 2006 Ferrari
11. Rosberg 2010-2012 Mercedes

[John Player]

He started 7th on the grid in his first F1 race....

...and in his first comeback race (bahrain 2010).

[my_own_shadow]

And also, just accidentally, there appears almost 7777 days between his first F1 drive with Jordan back in August 1991 and today's last race at Interlagos.

[Jejking]

Due to mechanical troubles and other mishaps outside his fault, Michael Schumacher could have scored about 77 points more this season!

Michael knew what he was doing today. Whilst Alonso and Vettel were off trying to do the easy thing and win the title, Schumi in his last race set about fulfilling his life's work... the factor of 7 season.

And he succeeded... that's Schumi all over. Couldn't have done with Brawn as usual, though in this case it was making a car that was average enough to score big in 7's.

Well done Schumi and Ross!

[SR388]

He was 7 times better than his brother.

7770 days since his first F1 test at Silverstone in 1991.

Yes, but it's just today - 27 November 2012.

On 25 November, when Michael finished his last F1 race it was 7768 days from his very first F1 test with Jordan, which was on Tuesday, 20 August 1991. Equally it was 7769 since Michael signed a pre-contract agreement with Jordan, which was on Monday, 19 August 1991.

But that's exactly 7777 days between the last GP of pre-Schumacher F1 era (which was Hungarian GP, held on 11 August 1991) and Michael's last F1 race at Interlagos (25 November 2012). That's quite obvoius as both races as usual held on Sunday, so we can do a control check by dividing into seven, and 7777/7 = 1111 weeks.

And, finally, if Michael will be present at FIA Gala on 7 December 2012 - it will be the same 7777 days since his first official F1 session which was Friday practice at Spa on 23 August 1991.

So let's Seven-Up Mild Seven for the Seven-time F1 World Champion on the seventh December to mark his seven thousandth seven hundred and seventy-seventh day with FIA F1 World Championship...

Which leads us to the ultimate conclusion:

And if the devil is six then god is seven
