Talking The Opposite of Zen

Hey kids, listen to Michael Schumacher when he says, "Don't text and drive."

Obviously, Michael needs a spotter. To tell him where his own car is.

Video reveals Schumacher’s start-line blunder

2012 Hungarian Grand Prix
The Hungarian Grand Prix got off to a false start after a blunder by Michael Schumacher on the grid.
The Mercedes driver pulled up in Heikki Kovalainen’s grid position ahead of the original start of the race, mistakenly lining up 19th instead of 17th.
This video shot by a fan shows Schumacher’s Mercedes on its correct starting position before the formation lap.
But when the field return to the grid for the start Schumacher, partly obscured by an advertising hoarding, pulled up behind the vacant space his car should have occupied.
This caused some confusion behind Schumacher, with other drivers not taking the correct positions on the grid as a result. Race director Charlie Whiting aborted the start of the race and sent the drivers around to form up again.
At this point Schumacher compounded his error by switching his engine off, meaning he had to start from the pit lane. “Our engine temperatures were very high before the start, and when the yellow lights came on, I switched the engine off,” he said.
