SCHUMACHER CRASHES AT 'THE RING' //

We are uncertain how something like this could happen, but even the greats make mistakes, big ones. Ferrari had rented out the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleiffe for a day of testing. Michael Schumacher, you know, all time winning F1 driver, was behind the wheel of a Ferrari prototype based on the 430 Scuderia, a car which he helped develop. According to F1-Live: “Schumacher went off the damp track at over 250 km/h (155 mph) at the high-speed Schwedenkruz corner and hit a guard rail, severely damaging the car and forcing the test crew to switch to a second vehicle.” Details are sketchy at best, with conflicting stories as to who was really behind the wheel during the accident. Foggier still, is the actual vehicle Schumacher was driving. Was it the successor to the F430? A replacement for the Enzo? Stay tuned // 07.28.2008
