Whenever he briefly poked his head out, crowds hooted wildly and waved red Ferrari hats and Spanish flags. Further down the paddock, where the F1 teams park their massive rolling pavilions, journalists were shoving microphones and cameras at another small man, this one all in silver. Michael Schumacher, the seven-time F1 world champion, was coming out of retirement in the livery of his new Mercedes team. The questions were not tough. "How does the car feel, Michael...
