  | Schumacher given an island by Dubai prince  Michael Schumacher received an unique and unprecedented parting gift after his last Grand Prix in Brazil -- an island. Dubai's crown prince - Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum - reportedly decided to give the retiring German a piece of the man-made island paradise 'The World', located off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. 'The World' is 300 islands clustered together in a nine kilometre zone to resemble Earth from an aerial photo. Schumacher's island, apparently part of 'Antarctica' on the artificial globe, is worth about (US) $7 million. Schumacher's manager Willi Weber confirmed: "In a couple of years it will be finished. Then Michael and Corinna will have their own holiday island! "Perhaps he will build a kart track on it." Source: Racing-Live.com

| Re: Schumacher given an island by Dubai prince It will definatly have a kart track. Michael is a true racer and despite that Ferrari give him plenty of practice in an F1 car he still went karting just for fun. It's what he loves and always will love. A great gesture I think

 | Re: Schumacher given an island by Dubai prince No he is not the same sheikh. Sheikh Mohd Bin Rashed Al-Maktoom is the current president of Dubai and he is a huge fan of horse races in London and All over the world. He is the leader of the current revolution in Dubai in all aspects. He is well known for his future visions and he has a book on that too. Anyways this is a great news and believe Shumi won't feel a stranger in his island. As I heard that Zeidan purchased one of those Islands + many other celebrities (Tom cruize, Andre agasi (Spel?) ... |
