Spectators at the Australian Grand Prix were confused today, after having seen Michael Schumacher plod around at the back of the field, stuck behind Jaime Alguersuari for half an hour, only waking up two laps from the flag for a fine sprint to… tenth place. It was only when somebody pointed out that nobody had seen Schumacher with his helmet off all weekend that the horrible truth dawned, that the driver behind the wheel of the Mercedes was in fact his brother, Ralf.
A source close to the popular but not very gifted German said; “Yes, it’s true, Ralf drove in Melbourne as a favour for Michael.” He went on, “Corinna had a load of stuff that needed doing around the house, jobs Michael had been promising to do all winter and he was really getting it in the ear, so he had to ask Ralf to help out.”
Michael is expected to be back behind the wheel for the Malaysian Grand Prix should he finish clearing the gutters and cleaning the windows in time.
