THe Finn is the one actually putting up the money for FA to go to Ferrari , especially after he bets on KR Again

Clearly everyone is enjoying this far more than the previous politically charged series. Me included.

Good for you!

Meanwhile, I seem to recall hearing that Schumie was the single largest private donor to the 9/11 relief fund, at $10m.

Michael Schumacher also gave $10 million dollars to the Tsunami victims.

Michael Schumacher has also quietly given money for hospitals in Eastern Europe, Africa, and schools in South America, etc. etc.

This was all documented by the German press when they dug into this. MS never disclosed any of this to the public.

As good a humanitarian you will find in addition to being THE greatest Formula One driver in the history of the world.

As I live within walking distance of FNA, I became freindly with some of the brass over there living in my previous complex. Schumie was known to be very philanthropic, to young kids especially, above and beyond the call....

Last time I checked (assuming Sir A.Wayne hasn't found his way into the record books with a bottle of white out), the score was 7 to 2......

Just keepin' up with off season testing to see if you still react everytime you see the words "Michael Schumacher".

You should have Alonso sign that picture for you and hang it between the two aces on his helmet.
