Schumacher drives RS6?

[Erik]

OK, listen to this rumor heard from a friend's friend who spent the holidays in the Swedish / Norwegian "Alps" for skiing.

Going into a shop he meets Ralf Schumacher who is heading towards an RS6 driven by Michael Schumacher.

True or not? Anyone else who knows more?

- in any case!

[fabianflach]

Yes it is true,..

Would Schumacher be tired of driving all day a Ferrari?

well, name me a Ferrari for a family and name me a FIAT produced car with much power and space for a professional Formel 1 driver ..

I would drive the same car in his position ..

Yes, they have yet to produce an all wheel drive that can transport a bunch of people with luggage in the snow.

Not sure why he would go to Sweden for skiing... :error:

And don't forget that we have the car meant for the previous F1-star Keke Rosberg's car on the forum.

The misano red RS6 Avant... World Class is all I can say!

The new X5 is a nice car, but almost 10 seconds slower than the RS6 up to 200 km/h.

Ralphy was in the same car according to the information.

And the dutch F1-coureur: Jos Verstappen (minardi) even drive a audi RS6 and before audi RS4 and some more audi's

He have a good taste for prive-cars but he always drive a bad F1-car.
When he tuned his RS6 he had more change to win a (wet) F1-race than in a Minardi

Or is it his fault perhaps?

Yes in his first years he was test-driver by Benneton and he always ended in the tyres. He didn't know what is a finish.
But now it is a good driver I think. I hope he will get a better car.

Michael Schumacher does drive an RS6 at Trysil (Norway). He has been on vacation there at his own cabin for at least 4 years now (nice cabin...)

I can confirm that this was close to Trysil.

Rubens Barrichello drive an armored RS6 with ABT kit in his car, here in Brasil.
Alex Barros (New Honda pilot – swapping with Rossi) drives a M3 and a very very ugly modded S3. (His S3 has even ground effect and about 450hp plus Nitro).

Yeah
Audi is all around, pilots and pioneers

Apparently Schumacher has a large house in Trysil (Norway).

Large? You mean HUGE!!! I've been to Trysil on skiing trips for a few winters in a row (5-6?) and we rented a cabin (actually, different cabin from year to year) pretty close to Chatue de Schumacher. That's probably the most impressive house up there. Although, I haven't seen him in the slopes yet, I bet I'm faster than him, I've seen him ski on tv and it aint a pretty sight.

So yes, the rumour that the Schumacher brothers were seen in a RS6 is higly possible, if it's true, well that's another story....
