Schumi double whammi?

Michael Schumaker is rumoured to be in discussions with the Scuderia Toro Rosso team for a multi-million dollar buyout. It is also part of the same rumour that Ross Braun, ex-Ferrari technical boss, may team up with Schumi if this buyout happens.

Hmmm...that would definately be very interesting. I think Schumi would be a welcome sight at the F1 paddock, not behind the wheel this time, but as team boss. Sounds cool.

Another bit of news about my favourite F1 driver...

The Nurburgring track, where Schumi has won 5 of his mindnumbing 91 F1 wins, has decided to name a corner after him. The fast left-right switchback after the Dunlop hairpin will be renamed the 'Schumacher S' in a ceremony during the German GP in July. Schumi is obviously delighted and will be required to drive a lap of honour to mark the occasion.

If there is a driver in F1 history who desrves to have a corner named after him, it's him. Of course there are always drivers like Aryton Senna who are legends in their own right and already have chicanes named after them.

But there's no one quite like Schumi!
