Oh, to have been in the taxi behind ...

As does any other Michael Schhumacher fan. To set the scene: the Schumacher family is in a taxi, running late for a plane. Michael decides that he can probably get them there that little bit faster ...

The Telegraph has a great photo in their coverage, too.

I'm not familiar with that man, but he's welcome to fly down any time and commandeer my taxi to the airport. :)

He is the greatest Formula 1 driver ever, according to the statistics. Some say he lacked heart and was all about the precision; I say they never saw him sob his heart out after winning the race that took him past Senna's record. What's that you ask? Is this a house of Ferrari fanatics? Why yes, yes it is!

Do you remember how he drove past Ralf's crashed bolid lap after lap craning his neck to see that Ralf is okay? I think I cried at that race, it was heart breaking. And how he won the race after their mother died. I miss him so much!

Oh, I know! And it's not just the hidden sweetness, he has a great sense of humour, too, even if it's at the kooky end of German humour. Which press conference was it when Mika Hakkinen comforted him? Was it the Senna one or after his mother died? I cried at that, such grace and generosity from the Finn. But we've seen it the other way around, too. I miss all of that set. Though we can keep Lewis and Kimi (but not Lewis's dad).
