The last run of Schumacher

Formula One racer Michael Schumacher has retired. His last run was in the Brazil Grand Prix on 22nd. He missed the series champion but he was a really accomplished racer. He showed splendid race to the last.

He keens on charities. His private bodyguard and his family died in the earthquake off Sumatra, so he donated 10 million U.S. dollars to the relief of the sufferers of it. 10 million dollars!!

By the way, he is identified as being unemployed in the country he lives. Probably he lives in Switzerland and Switzerland doesn't admit "a racer" as an occupation. So he pays just minimum tax, although he was the highest paid athlete. Hmm... Living in Switzerland is his tax strategy

He had dominated F1 world for many years. I wonder who is a next top racer.
