His salary in Ferrari (endorsement aside) is about 20mil.....donating 10 mil is like asking us to donate our half our anual income to charity..that is ALOT!!! I am very happy to see my favorite driver making such a generous gesture.

lol yeah i was just gonna say he probably donated more than few small countries...

well im sure schumi makes more money from sponsorships than from his actual drivers salary, but still, that is a lot of money to donate by yourself.

In reference to his character...i do agree that he does show much emotions, thats just him. I personally love someone like valentino rossi who shows so much of emotion in his racing and his passion for the sport, its just awesome to watch him every race. I wished f1 had someone like that too. Everyone in F1 is pretty boring in my opinion.

Theres still no doubt that schumi gets a lot of respect from people on and off the track. I dont like him as an f1 fan, but i have a lot of respect for the man.

But there are people who need it more obviously.
