Michael Schumacher has allegedly been caught for speeding. The former F1 champion was caught speeding on a highway near his hometown of Kerpen, Germany, although it is unclear what speed he was doing when he was caught. Police have confirmed that he was stopped for speeding in a 100 km/h zone and local media reports believe he was doing speeds of around 140 km/h. Had he been doing more than 146 km/h, he would have automatically have lost his license.

Michael Schumacher’s manager has hinted that Schumacher may be thinking of buying a Formula One team. Schumi is already an advisor for Ferrari, his old team, however rumours say that Scuderia Toro Rosso - the other Italian team in F1 - is attracting his eye.
