248 F1 and Statue For Schumi


Michael Schumacher can keep the Brazil-spec single-seater - the 248 F1 - that he will race for the last time in his sixteen year career at Interlagos this Sunday, according to Luca di Montezemolo. "I cannot think of a better parting gift for him," the Ferrari President is quoted as saying by AZ.

Schumacher can also expect a fitting send-off by staff at the 'Montana' restaurant, which is located next to Ferrari's Fiorano test circuit. Express reports that restaurant staff intend to collect money to commission a bronze statue of the multiple world champion.

Schumacher, however, is believed to have rejected the offer for a monument to be erected in his honour near his kart track, on the basis that statues should be reserved for dead people.
