Michael Schumacher

Don't like the bloke but he has just pledged 5 million pounds towards the tsunami victims fund.
I know he earns a fortune but £5 million will go a long way to helping the victims families and survivors.

nice one good man, any spare for the mighty Seagulls

 

[itszamora]

£5 million is a lot of money for anyone - sure he can afford it but a great gesture all the same and the money really will make a difference

 

[Stat Brother]

That's 1/3rd of what our government has pledged.
Good on you Michael

 

[Marc]

Schumacher is a LEGEND, he maybe German and have a funny shaped CHIN but he's a bloody amazing F1 racing driver who I admire greatly, well done mate

 

[ILOVEBHA]

What a kind and good man

 

[Wardy]

Fair play to the man

 

[Stat Brother]

Didn't our government pledge £45 Million?

Apologises if I'm wrong, been stuck @ work for quite a few days & the world outside just passes me by.

They have pledged £45 million now but I do believe their original one was a lot less.

Agree with Crabtree in that he is a fantastic driver and the only reason I don't like him is due to him being German and so bloody talented

 

[Easy 10]

Fair play to the cheating german git. Thats a great gesture.

Blair said today the government will give 'hundreds of millions' and will more than match anything the public raises.

Sandra Bullock has given $1m and is fit.

Never liked the bloke since he shunted Damon Hill out in that race for the title final chapter. Sometimes in sport, win at all cost it unpopular. But fair-play to the bloke as £5m must be equal to about a month's wages to him.

Using the new google bar. I found.....
Michael Schumacher
Team: Ferrari

According to Forbes, Michael Schumacher is the second highest-paid athlete in the world behind only Tiger Woods. His earnings between June 2003 and June 2004 were estimated at $80 million, with his salary from Ferrari accounting for roughly half of that amount.

Schumacher earns that kind of dough because he has more wins than any other F1 driver and is a six-time world champion. He typically earns as much from endorsements as he does from racing: of the $67 million comprising his 2002 winnings, only $32 million came from winnings on the race track.

Forgot to mention, top effort by him.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Damon Hill once said, "Michael Schumacer may be mentally strong, but once you get inside he has a heart of steel".

My favourite quote that is

Fair play to him though

One of the F1 commentators, not Murray I'm certain, might have been an RTE one even said:

"Under that cold, cool, icy Germanic exterior beats a heart of stone". The only time I've seen him shop any emotions at a race were when Ralf was injured.

Michael Schumacher has donated exactly the same as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, two of the world's richest countries.

Very generous, top bloke!

 

[rodgerscuz]

The Man is an Absolute Legend, and a great bloke! And to pledge that amount of money, wheather its a lot or little to him is very generous, and you can bet it will go along way.

MS body guard was killed in the disaster and i believe that is the wheel power behind his donation...
