MONZA, Italy -- With a dedication to mentor Michael Schumacher, Williams driver Felipe Massa announced Thursday that he will retire from Formula One at the end of the season.The 35-year-old Brazilian said he chose to make the announcement at the Italian Grand Prix because that was where Schumacher made his retirement announcement a decade ago, which cleared the way for Massa to remain at Ferrari.The only way for me to stay was for him to stop, Massa said.
