I doubt its authenticity but it's still amusing.

Here’s a hilarious “quote” from Michael Schumacher, when asked what he is up to in his retirement:



I will also be planning more charity football matches, more acting roles and commentating on a new TV reality show. It features an F1 driver who is dropped into a crowd of southern roughnecks, hillbillies and dodgy car mechanics and has to fight his way out by racing against them in clapped out old junkheaps. It stars Juan-Pablo Montoya, and is called "I'm an F1 Driver - Get Me Out Of Here!" Some people are calling it NASCAR but I think the first title is correct.

They don't think too much of NASCAR, do they?

I don't like NASCAR either, but that is an @sshole type of statement.

LOL!
I prefer to take it as a joke. There's plenty $$ in NASCAR and some real drivers too.

Yeah, I took it as a joke as well. Besides, I don't think Schumacher has good enough slang english to say things like "hillbillies", "dodgy" or "clapped out".

I have a new found respect for NASCAR after watching JPM run. I had no real basis for comparison until then.

I never used to like it until I saw it up close. Go look at at a Joe Gibbs or Hendrick motor and tell me how unsophisticated they are. Besides, I think Stewart is a better driver than anyone driving in any series anywhere.

I was real impressed with Tony Stewart after watching him run a road course in IROC. In assumedly even cars he just trumped the field with insane passes under braking. Lots of talent and drive there. I'll bet he is hell on wheels at a short track in a sprint car.

I love watching Nascar at the road courses. Ovals, heck, at some of them they don't even lift. Round and round, 500 or 600 miles pedal to the metal, kind of lame.

Any better racing is better than none, just doesn't seem right to only turn left
