No, I don't mean it's curtains for the one and only Formula One Ferrari driver because his form has suffered. Not at all.
Michael Schumacher has called time on his own career and bailed out at the top (well, almost). Although he finished fourth in today's Grand Prix in Brazil, there are many who think he is the world's best. Or at least there is only one Schumacher or Schumi to those in the know!
As it happens, I don't know a lot about Formula One and neither does the Mistress even though her other half likes to watch it and one of her friends even works in the industry!
For those of you who think it's all about fast cars and fast women, Schumacher bucks the trend. He is happily married and likes to spend time with his family and walking his dogs; it says a lot when you find out he lives in Switzerland!
Apparently, he is the largest single donor to the Tsunami! Did you know that? Probably not because he’s not big on self publicity (unlike me!). Schumacher has the world at his feet now and can do whatever he wants and he’s likely to do something quiet and effective. The Mistress’s other half tells her that he has an amazing and skilful brain (like all F1 drivers, apparently) so I guess it may be very special.
So, something that I never thought I would say but I think the world has a lot to learn from Mr Schumacher! Here is a man who knows the true value of things in life, not least his dogs!
Woof Woof (or should that be Vroom Vroom just for today!)
