He's done mankind proud, and no doubt a thumbsup from a celebrity/motorsports point of view.

A small aside to the Shuey post;

Nigel Roebuck of Autosport did an interesting article with Jenson Button in the December issue. Button describes the aerodynamics of the Ferrari as being in a league of their own.

The short version is that not only does Ferrari modify the aerodyn. of the car to be sleeker, but they manipulate the airflow over the car so that when the chassis penetrates the air, it causes sever buffeting to any car behind it. It generates and maginfies the "dirty air". I thought that to be quite interesting.

What is cooler is the generosity of MS and all the other folks contributing to the relief of those struck by the tsunamis.

Cheers,

MugenM

I just came across this:

A bodyguard for seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher was among those killed in the tsunami disaster. Burkhard Cramer died in Phuket, Thailand, Schumacher spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said Wednesday. Cramer's two sons also are believed to have died.

With that knowledge you can only hope MS would have donated the $ had one of his bodyguard perished.

Very nice that he donated $10M, but that information makes you wonder.

that is a little light for him considering he is one of the richest guys by far in Hollywood. As for Shuey, it shows what class this guy has to donate 7.5 million euros!
