Today's phrase is: What do you reckon?

"I think Michael Schumacher might retire from Formula One at the end of this season. What do you reckon?"
"Maybe, but that's what everyone said last year and he went on the win the championship."
"True, but there's lots of younger drivers coming into Formula 1 now who can challenge him."
"So, do you think he should quit while he's at the top of his game?"
"I do."

Useful words and expressions:

retire - to leave a job because you have reached a certain age.
the end of this season - after the last event in a sports calendar.
What do you reckon? - what's your opinion?
went on to win - continued despite problems and won.
challenge - provide competition.
quit - retire, often suddenly.
at the top of his game - at his best in terms of performance or ability.
in fact - in reality, to tell the truth.
