Agent denies report Michael Schumacher is Algerian
Posted: Tuesday November 03, 1998 08:23 PM
BERLIN (AP) -- The agent for Michael Schumacher Tuesday denied a report
by an Algerian newspaper that the Formula One driver is actually named
"Farouk" and moved to Germany.
El Modjhahid claimed it had documented proof that Michael and his
brother, Ralf Schumacher, also a Formula One driver, had an Algerian
father and German mother and were born in the town of Blida.
After the father died, the Schumachers allegedly moved to Germany and
changed their names. Ralf's real name, according to the story in the
paper, is Hassan.
"Sensational idea. It should be printed exactly like that. Actually I
haven't heard anything that stupid in a long time," Michael
Schumacher's press agent, Heiner Buchinger, told the Berlin daily B.Z.
The B.Z. printed pictures of the two clean-shaven brothers wearing fezs
and sporting mustaches, calling the story the craziest of the year.
The B.Z., as well as several other German papers, also said El Modjhahid
seems to have overlooked the fact the square-jawed brothers bear a
strong resemblance to their father, Rolf Schumacher.
Rolf Schumacher was raised in Cologne, Germany.
