    Naughty, naughty Schumacher at the RoC - busted!

    Schumacher testing the FORD Focus rallycar on the Saturday before the main event - I thought Ferrari/FIAT frowned on this and only let him run in cars from the FIAT empire (Ferrari/Alfa Romeo/Maserati/Lancia/FIAT/Abarth)

    Made me smile anyway - wonder if di Montezemolo frequents these boards?!:

    I bet he wished he had that Ford when he went up against Carl Edwards rather than the Fiat, tough.

    Oh no, he best be careful, they might fire him... :

    I'm sure Luca would be fizzing in his business suit over less trivial things, I imagine...

    He wasn't wearing his Ferrari overalls either, rather his own private one, which tells me that whatever stipulation there was in his contract about what he can drive and what logos he has to put on his overalls, have now expired.

    I think you are right!

    He wore a special pair of overalls last year for a charity. I guess it's much the same this year even though I think he's still contracted to Ferrari?
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I didn't think Schumacher still worked for anyone. I assumed he was a freelance consultant.
