BERLIN (AFP) - Michael Schumacher may well be the fastest taxi driver in Germany after the seven-times world champion shocked a cab driver by taking over the wheel in order to be on time for a flight.

Schumacher, 38, flew into the aerodrome at the Bavarian town of Coburg on Saturday and took a taxi to the village of Gehuelz, 30 kilometres away, to pick up a new puppy - an Australian Shepherd dog called "Ed".

This is hilarious. Must have been a good ride.

Outstanding. Normally, one would have to pay steeply for the privilege.

Just what I was thinking. So not only do you get to sit in a car with him, but he also gives you a fat tip afterwards. Just a good deal for everyone!

Lucky summa biatch. Not only does that taxi driver have bragging rights at the local pub, he's also got a great story to pass down to his kids.
