You could almost, but not quite, not make it up

Michael Schumacher, the greatest car driver since Juan Manuel Fangio, found himself in the back of a taxi yesterday in Berlin, late for an airplane he absolutely had to catch. He asked the driver to let him drive, took the wheel, and made it to the airfield just in time.

I love this story!

LOL! That's so funny.

But you know Schumacher was only as good as his car which was the best Ferrari ever, especially as Ferrari's policy is to favour one driver over the other?

Sorry, you are wrong. Schumacher went to Ferrari because he was beating them with other people's cars. He was the best before Ferrari hired him. I don't like him: he is a cheat and a bully. But he is, alas, the best car driver in half a century.
