Schuey turns chassis guru



Autocar can reveal that, contrary to what Fiat's adverts would have you believe, former doyen of F1 Michael Schumacher is neither delivering TVs nor chauffeuring school children around in his abundant spare time; he's helping Ferrari to develop their road cars. Or at least he was yesterday.
Autocar's Nurburgring spies took these pictures of a red Ferrari 599 GTB lapping the Nordschleife yesterday afternoon (May 24). Awestruck by the driving they witnessed, they report realising the identity of the driver only on closer inspection. Check out our wallpapers section, or click - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER, to see a version of their shots at larger scale; we think you'll agree that the evidence is almost indisputable.
A change of direction for Ferrari?

Nurburgring testing is an unusual move for Ferrari. The prancing horse tends to do the majority of its development work at its own Fiorano test circuit, which is shorter, flatter and ultimately less demanding on a car than the 'Ring.
So do these pictures signal a change of approach at Maranello? And what about for the 'red baron'; with his natural ability and familiarity with the Nordschleife, is he to become to Ferrari what Walter Rohl is to bitter rival Porsche – a kind of overarching, high-profile, development guru?
Only time will tell – but if so, remember you read it here first.

Re: Schuey turns chassis guru

The glare on the windscreen glass obstructs his face. However, I think it's Schu! He wears one of those thingies around his neck. It shows clearly in the high res pic.

I think what he needs to do is fly to Monaco, steal Massa's helmet and qualify on pole for him for the GP. Otherwise, I think Massa stuffs it into the wall come Sunday.

Re: Schuey turns chassis guru

Schu needs to come back and take an eight title, or fully assist the F1 team. Developing roadcars ain't bad either.
