Schumacher gets island as present for his retirement

Michael Schumacher has received a unique gift after he drove his final Grand Prix at Interlagos this weekend. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's crown prince decided to give Schumi a piece of the man-made island 'The World'. 'The World' is 300 islands clustered together in a nine kilometre zone to resemble Earth from an aerial photo.

Schumacher's island, apparently part of 'Antarctica' on the artificial globe, is worth $7 million.

Willi Weber confirmed: "In a couple of years it will be finished. Then Michael and Corinna will have their own holiday island! Perhaps he will build a kart track on it."
