Michael Schumacher on Top Gear. How awesome would that be?

WestHej · January 28th, 2007, 12:29 AM

Now he's retired and has free time, that would be absolutely incredible!

Blythy · January 28th, 2007, 12:34 AM

the top gear laptime might become a source of pride between F1 drivers, the shows got good links with renault and toyota - might get some of their drivers, I dunno about ferrari though, they've had luca badoer, but nobody normal knows who he is.

Momentum57 · January 28th, 2007, 01:11 AM

no his accent is fowl, and he is a hipster dufus.

SL65 · January 28th, 2007, 01:52 AM

Nah it'd be boring as hell - he has no personality.

Blythy · January 28th, 2007, 01:58 AM

I beg to differ...

no on second thoughts, you're absolutely right.

^ btw, what does your sig reference? (the 75mph in first one)

epp_b · January 28th, 2007, 02:15 AM

Well, I, for one think it would be fun to watch. He could rival the Stig on lap times images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

the monaro vxr, the one with like 500 bhp and basically a rocket connected to the rear wheels.

Donington · January 28th, 2007, 02:20 AM

I think it would be great, after all like it or not he is one of the best racing drivers ever.

Walsh_e · January 28th, 2007, 02:20 AM

If he come on the show and was slower than Webber...oh how I'd laugh and love it images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Was it from a car review or magazine?

HondaF1 · January 28th, 2007, 05:43 AM

Webber was fast. He was in the wet and only just slower than Damon.

Agreed - he'd be boring to watch, and wouldn't understand when JC inevitably takes the piss.

On the other hand...

Now that would be gold.

HondaF1 · January 28th, 2007, 06:12 AM

Michael would only be faster than Webber if he had Ross Brawn working on a strategy

maxorido · January 28th, 2007, 06:43 AM

I think it would be awesome. I would also like to see Mika Hakkinen, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton. You would think however, that there would be more british drivers willing to come on. Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard, Johnny Herbert etc.

Narcolepsy · January 28th, 2007, 06:49 AM

who says they have to have him on to talk

watto · January 28th, 2007, 06:54 AM

Even if they got him on to be a comparo driver like Damon Hill and Steve Coogan have been, that'd be fantastic.

him and sabine schmits look freakishly similar, i mean he has a bigger chin bar none, but from the side his eyes and nose look really too close, i think the germans have been cloning race drivers since the end of wwii maybe!
