Taxi for Schumacher

A taxi driver in Germany was left shaken and stirred after handing his keys over to seven-times Formula One champion Michael Schumacher.

Schumacher, 38, asked to take the wheel as he was running late for a flight.

"I found myself a passenger, which was strange enough, but having 'Schumi' behind the wheel was incredible," said taxi driver Tuncer Yilmaz.

"He drove at full throttle around the corners and overtook in some unbelievable places."


606: DEBATE
What do you think of Schumacher's antics?

Schumacher had flown into the Bavarian town of Coburg to pick up an Australian Shepherd dog called Ed.

He was accompanied by his wife and children to pick up the puppy and the family were late getting back to the local aerodrome for their return flight.

After giving the cabbie an unforgettable experience, Schumacher also gave him a 100 Euro tip.

The dog will be the latest addition to the Schumacher family menagerie, which includes one dog that he brought home from Brazil when his wife Corinna fell for it as it wandered around as a stray while they were at the Grand Prix in Sao Paulo.

I'm sure we'll see people saying "oh, that's dangerous" blah blah blah.

Let me be the first to agree, fucking awesome!

I wouldve done the same as the taxi driver, must have been one hell of an experience.

It it was just an average guy, I'd call it stupid. However, I'm sure Schumi knew what he was doing.

I agree, that is incredible. I would love to have the place of the taxi driver.

*devils advocate* just because he can handle an f-1 car under any circumstances doesn't mean he knows exactly how taxi cab handles nor can he predict whats coming ahead on his his trip to wherever he was going.

Back to reality.... F-in AWESOME!!!!!

I wonder in what shape the brakes/tires were in when he left the car

He was probably thinking to himself "too much understeer, needs more downforce". lol

Awesome!

M5 Ring taxi?

If this was any old Joe Blow, it'd be bad.
Since its Schumi, and people think he's god, it's "acceptable".
If Schumi had crashed and killed somone, we'd have a huge scandal.

It all comes down to the scenario.
