Michael Schumacher just wrote a personal check in the amount of

ten-million towards the tsunami relief fund. That amount has to be more than some governments.

Michael is a BIG man for doing such a nice thing. I have even more respect for him now!

You serious??!

I thought he was a stuck up a-hole

Nice.. mad respect!

He may be one, but he's one with hundreds of millions of dollars in his pocket. He can afford it. Probably makes for a nice tax deduction.

From what I heard, he was in the area along with the rest of his F1 team when it happened. Having actually seen first hand the devastation caused, it's no surprise he's shelling out a large sum. Good on him.

I don't know about Schuey being there, but Jean Todt and Roy Byrne were in the area.

...just what I was told.

I wasn't meaning that Michael wasn't there. (He could have been) Just confirming that at least some of the Ferarri F1 team was known to have been there.

Nice gesture.

I heard he recently got a DUI.. is this true?!

That hasn't been reported in any of the F1 websites that I follow. Seriously Doubt It.
