Hail Schumi!

Schumacher on his talent
"Whenever you see me at testing or at a race, it takes me about one lap, sometimes two or three, to learn the 95 per cent of the circuit. Other drivers seem to start at 80 per cent or even less and then progress. I always feel so confident that I can just do it. But it does depend a bit on the car. If it's very critical, like the Ferrari, it's not so easy. But in the car like the Benetton in 1994, I just got in, pulled my visor down, and I was on the limit straight away."
