    Michael Schumacher can keep the Brazil-spec single-seater - the 248 F1 - that he will race for the last time in his sixteen year career at Interlagos this Sunday, according to Luca di Montezemolo. "I cannot think of a better parting gift for him," the Ferrari President is quoted as saying by AZ.

    Schumacher can also expect a fitting send-off by staff at the 'Montana' restaurant, which is located next to Ferrari's Fiorano test circuit. Express reports that restaurant staff intend to collect money to commission a bronze statue of the multiple world champion.


    wow...what a gift! will be more special if he can be champ this sunday! Go Schumi!

    What only 1 car, Schumacher deserves one of every car Ferrari makes from now on.

    I believe it's in his contract that he gets to keep one of the F1 cars from the season each year, dunno about production model Ferrari's tho.

    He has a museum in his hometown, I believe, that has an example of every car he ever drove in competition.

    I recall reading that he recently tracked down his F3 car and bought it to complete the collection.

    I sure hope he does, poor guy could probably never actually afford a production Ferrari on his own. I got an idea, let's all pass the hat...

    I heard that he has the first right to buy of any F1 car Ferrari has. If he doesn't want to buy it, Ferrari puts it up on auction.

    I deleted my post...perhaps you should do the same.

    Biggest weekend of F1 in 10 years... you shouldn't be anywhere near f-chat until you see what you need to see or before you know what happened....
