Steve Cooper: On the Limit
"It barely feels like Schuey's been away"
Old habits die hard. So when you see Michael Schumacher bobbing and weaving through the paddock crowds on a sunny Friday morning, it barely feels like he's been away. You catch sight of his impenetrable wraparound Oakley shades and crisp white shirt garishly embroidered with large orange and blue flowers. Very Michael.
Next, you glimpse him in the pits, chatting busily with his old mechanics and scrutinising the timing screens during free practice. Again, you can't help thinking: typical Schuey, beavering away at the Ferrari coalface.
