The seven-times world champion, Michael Schumacher, drove a taxi so that his family can catch the ariline in time. He also gave the original driver of the taxi a 100 euro ($146.6) tip on top of the 60 euro fare.

The retired Formula One champion drove the cab back to the airport himself after a trip out to the village of Gehuelz, near Coburg in southern Germany, left the family short of time to make their flight home, the Muenchner Abendzeitung newspaper reported.

Doesn’t that qualify him for another title “Germany’s Fastest Taxi Driver”?

“It was crazy having Schumi driving, with me in the passenger seat,” the taxi driver was quoted as saying. (Reuters)
