Do you think MM puts himself in that category? He talks about retirement, he talks about age. Or do you think it might be the press constantly reminding us how old he is? Or a combination of the two?

When do you hear the press talking about how old Martin is? He has made much more of his retirements himself than anything the press has ever said about him.

I asked the question. And I have heard the press discuss MM's age.


I agree with your opinion that he's still competitive. Given top drawer equipment, he seems like a threat to win at most of the events he drives. It will be interesting to see how he does next year

He'll continue to almost thrill people. Martin has never had the fire to really win the big prize and he doesn't now.


Who's talking about setting the world on fire. I said I think he's competitive and given good equipment, has a chance to win most of the events he drives. So do a lot of other drivers.

Is there somewhere in the lines I've written where I said he'll win a championship?
