Schumacher claims third ... on a motorbike

#1 Post by Samray » Sun Mar 23, 2008 8:45 am

Seven-times Formula one world champion Michael Schumacher proved he is just as fast on two-wheels as he is on four after claiming a podium finish on his motorbike racing debut in Hungary.

You just can't beat good old German dress sense can you?

I quite like the idea of cheering him on riding a motorbike.

Pity he's gonna be too old to make it out of a German national series...

..or is he?

Dunno but he looks about as cheerful as usual.

Love him or hate him - you've got to admit he's as competitive as hell!

He binned it.
The seven time F1 world champion encountered technical trouble in qualifying and started the morning race 37th of the 39 starters, eventually finishing 28th.

He then climbed up to 21st in race two before falling and sliding into the gravel.

You sure he wasn't trying to knock all the other riders out so he could win?
