Why can't I shake this mental image of Michael Schumacher doing his best "Dr. Evil" impersonation and saying......"One BILLION dollars".
I thought the $100M number was incredible when I first heard it, but this......

"Unofficial News".... "could bring in over $1 billion dollars"..... let's see what happens first. Incredible if it actually materializes.

Michael Schumacher likes to win, and probably won't be swayed with a 1-billion dollar offer--he can't spend the billions he has now! If BMW offers him a car and staff superior to Ferrari's--I could see him pondering the deal. There's plenty of skill left in the old lion before he retires--so I wouldn't be so quick to count him out in any given race.

According the German Gp broadcast today their is no truth to this story, both BMW and MS have denied it, MS saying, as he has always said, if he continues in F1 it will be with Ferrari.
Of course denying a story like this and then later having it be true is not out of the realm of possibility but it never made much sense to begin with.
