I doubt he loses any sleep over it. That's like me crashing a bicycle

I seem to remember him wrecking his F1 car a few times also.

I'm not passing judgement here, but does anybody else find it odd that he's probaby lapping at 9/10ths, with no safety gear, and his son in the passenger seat?

Reading down the comments some, turns out it was a test driver who lost it. Schu never stated he crashed out...

It was Dietrich! Man that guy gets around.

The corner they are talking about, Schwedenkreutz, its reported he was doing 155MPH around it, maniacs take it at 130, mortal men take it below 120.

Someone mentioned 9/10's I am thinking 10/10's.

Now the big question is was it Micheal, and did he have his son in the car?

I say it was not him, I do not think he would take such a risk with his son in the car.

Had he really hit the wall at 155, there would be a lot more damage to that car.
