SCHUMACHER SEEKS TO MAKE ALL HIS DREAMS COME TRUE
WELL it seems the f1 journalism community has been led astray with the news that 7 time world formula one champion Michael Schumacher was to build a 17 million dollar castle for his retirement. Rumours of the 25 car garage castle were rife, and published in a number of F1 periodicals. However, Schumachers manager Willi Webber, issued a press release today indicating that Ferrari's number one driver has been involved in negotiations with infamous king of pop Michael Jackson for the purchase of Neverland Ranch.
"Micheal (Schumacher) has been interested in the ranch for some time and Jackons recent problems have prompted him to approach the star about the possibility of selling the ranch" Webber said today. A representative from Jackon declined an official comment but said "that Michael (Jackson) was open to genuine offers".
Connie, Schumachers wife, has put her support behind the move as well. "It has always struck me as a great place for kids, and Michael has always been a kid at heart. It will be good for F1 in the US too, especially after indy."
Speculation is now rife as to whether Schumacher is planning a move to either Champ car or the IRL, in a Mansell-esque move to be a master of all codes. However Webber denounced the suggestion as ludicrous. "Michael believes f1 to be the pinacle, its why he chose it in the first place". Fans of f1 in recent times may still be cynical, as stranger things have happened in motorsport.
The 7 time champion is currently third in the championship, with 6 races to go. Many believe he will lose his title to Fernando Alonso this year.
