Schu faces postal proceedings

Following Michael Schumachers retirement announcement, the driver and Ferrari have today been issued with legal proceedings by Maranello postman, Alberto Calzone. Mr Calzone, who has delivered the post to the Ferrari factory for 22 years, has made a claim for damages after suffering repetitive strain injury, brought on by delivering sackloads of "Wishing you luck in your retirement" cards.

The Italian Postal Union are backing the claim saying that had they known about Schuey's retirement then they would have laid on extra staff.A spokesman told us today; "Our member is absolutely knackered, his bike is also in a bit of a state".

This is not the first time Ferrari have faced such a claim.Two years ago, the mechanic responsible for Eddie Irvine's and latterly Rubens Barrichello's pit board, also sued for RSI when he put out his shoulder after continuously holding out the board telling them to let Michael past.
