Did Michael Schumacher Crash a 430 Scuderia at the 'Ring?

Playstation professionals beware, the Nürburgring Nordschleife forgives nobody, including a seven time World Champion. Michael Schumacher crashed a modified Ferrari 430 Scuderia last Tuesday at Schwedenkreuz, the superfast left corner. The car apparently totalled on the half wet half dry track...

UPDATED



The report was published by german newspaper Bild but Ferrari disputes Schumacher was actually driving. Ferrari had booked the track for private testing and a 430 Scuderia was crashed however spokesman Luca Colajanni claimed Schumacher was the passenger and that the car was driven by Dietrich test driver Raffaele DeSimone.

Schumacher press liason Sabine Kehm said "Michael called me and said we had an accidend but we'll continue in another car" and went on to dipell the rumor that Schumacher's son Mick was on board at the time.


So don't feel bad next time you stuff it at the Nürburgring, it happens to the best, the only difference is they have a better press office!

Update: pictures of the the car have emerged and it seems like it's hardly "totalled" but it did take a decent sized hit. Along with the pictures there seems to be some hysteria bubbling because there is a picture of a kid, presumably Schumacher's in the car at some point during the day without a helmet.... now he's really going to get it, "Schumacher a bad father" headlines can't be far away!
