Taxi for Schumacher
It seems the longer Michael Schumacher stays out of racing cars, the cooler he gets.
The seven-time F1 world champion was so concerned about missing a flight back home to Switzerland after picking up a new puppy in Gehuelz, Germany that he politely asked the taxi driver if he himself could drive.
Cabbie Tuncer Yilmaz was only to happy to oblige, and watched in awe as Schumi made the 19-mile journey in record time, driving Yilmaz's Opel Vivaro flat out along the derestricted autobahn.
"He drove at full throttle around the corners and overtook in unbelievable places," said Yilmaz.
Schumacher got his wife, two children and the new addition, Australian Shepherd pup Ed, to the airport in the nick of time and gave Yilmaz a €100 tip on top of the €60 fare.
"Having Schumi behind the wheel was incredible," said the chuffed taxi driver.
