Helmet cool

In further evidence of his increasing post-F1 cool, Michael Schumacher has just unveiled a motorcycle helmet.

Big Schu has teamed up with Schuberth (no relation) to create the 'Schuberth Race' helmet, which is described as 'an extremely aerodynamic and lightweight helmet, filled with numerous technical and safety innovations'. It appears to have a lot of holes for extra brain cooling.

Schumacher has worked with Schuberth for several years now: in 2004, he helped develop the first lightweight carbon helmet, showing it off in a publicity stunt where it was run over by a tank. Big Schu's head was not inside at the time.

Since quitting the four-wheel racing scene, Schumacher has been getting back into motorbikes, racing in the KTM Trophy series and testing out the Ducati MotoGP bike.

Next week, Big Schu wrestles crocodiles with one arm tied behind his back before disappearing off into the sunset with Scarlett Johansson. On the Batmobile.
