Even the best end up on the trailer sometimes…

November 20, 2009

Yes, that is Michael Schumacher with his steed on the rollie stand. A friend commented tonight that it would be fun to see the local boys put Mikey on the trailer.

When fame is too much: Schumi stays away from Shumi III’s first race

April 22, 2008

I recently read a biography of Michael Schumacher and while it did little to change my opinion of him as a sportsman, one thing became very clear.

The sports news world is going crazy trying to figure out what the Ferrari/Schumacher press meeting will bring this Sunday following the F1 race at Monza. Most people are assuming that Schumacher will announce his retirement from Formula 1.
