Nurburgring's Nordschliefe hasn't seen an F1 race since 1976. But occasionally, a current team will take a car to the track just to have a little bit of fun. That's what Mercedes just did with their 2011 F1 car and an old retired man named Michael, who I'm told is the most successful F1 driver of all time.

Say what you want about Michael Schumacher, but he has had an illustrious and storied racing career that few have matched. To cap it off he's making a run that gives a new meaning to the term "victory lap": a go around the Nürburgring in a Formula One car next month.

That sounds scary, but it's true. Somewhat. Mercedes-Benz has tapped the former Formula 1 driver to help develop some of its future driving aides and things to stop drivers from crashing really expensive cars.

Seven time F1 champ Michael Schumacher retired last year. We now go live to Kimi Raikkonen to get his thoughts on the legend's exit. Does he miss him?

Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher may have finished this weekend's U.S. Grand Prix in 16th place, but he didn't walk away empty handed. It turns out that the German liked Texas so much, he bought a 500-acre ranch there this weekend.

Ninety one wins. Sixty eight pole positions. One hundred fifty five podium finishes. Seven world championships. No matter how you look at it, Michael Schumacher is the most successful driver to ever participate in the Formula One World Championship.

Before he becomes a globe-trotting racing god, the modern Formula One driver competes in GP2. It’s a racing series removed from the madness and attention, created to breed talent for the ultimate challenge of F1. We spent a Grand Prix weekend in GP2 to see the lives of Formula One’s future stars.

The 2012 Singapore Grand Prix is still ongoing as of this writing, but it looks like it's been a rough race for a couple of drivers, most notably Michael Schumacher, who crashed out after colliding with another car in the 39th lap.

Mercedes decided to give us a first look at their new W03 they will be campaigning in F1 by strapping a video camera to Nico Rosberg helmet while he took a lap around Silverstone Circuit last week.

Lest you forget for even a moment that Michael Schumacher (orange) is a stone cold killer, a German race weapon more terrifying than a Panzerkampfwagen, here he is at this year's Race of Champions showing American Brian Deegan (white) what real car control is.
