    If he wanted one, he could easily have one built "off the record" as a track special.

    doubtful. he will probably drive and test and give feedback on all of the others while Ferrari has them.
    would that make sense or is my memory telling me wrong things?

    I think he lives the life of "track day special" getting to drive the most technilogically advanced F1 car available so he probably doesn't desire an FXX.

    Yeah, an FXX would probably feel like a big saloon to him.

    Micheal drives the ultimate ferrari now. Im sure he hade heavy input in the fxx and im sure he has recieved lots of wheel time. if he wanted one im also sure that ferrari would make one for him. someone made a comment that the car is pricey and he may not be able to afford it,i remember a few years ago forbes said micheal made close to 90million if thats true then money isnt a issue with him

    For those that read "Octane" there is an amusing commentary from Nick Mason on the subject - posing the scene of Rubens and Michael considering their Chrismas presents and entertainment...

    'No, no, no - we want a real laugh. I know, let's get out the lap top and review the customers testing'

    'Here Rubens, look at this wally: even with every computer assistance at full stretch he's still in the wrong gear. Oooh, he's clipped the Armco [muffled cheer from teh service and bodywork department]. Hang on, what about this one ... Good straight-line speed, yes yes yes... NOOOO! Gott in Himmel Rubens what am I meant to learn from this? Now this one is so alarmed by the 800bhp he's decided to do the circuit in first gear. And he's spun it! Donner und Blittzen, my kid brother could do better!'

    Its a good article, deliberately amusing and provocative.

    He likes de-badged tuner Mercedes - Brabus, AMG, etc. He has a 700 HP Mercedes E65 wagon, I was told.

    Michael's net worth has been estimated between $350 to 500 million USD. Money is NEVER an issue for him!!!!

    UH, well, one or two pieces of art could get him in troubles.

    Anyway, why bother ?

    He's just a f#in' driver. Nothing else.

    He would work as a mechanic if he wasn't so good at karting, and married a hair-dresser.

    Hello !

    I read that he would probaly have a billion $ (incl. houses...) after he finished the 2006 Season for Ferrari. Anyway, he has a lot of money for sure... ;-)

    Or just retired after he got that soccer injury playing proffessional soccer. I dont think Michael would ever have been a mechanic nor married a hair dresser.
