Schumacher present at street ceremony

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER's name is literally on the road to success after it was given to a street that leads to his family's karting circuit.

In the latest accolade to be given to the triple world champion, Schumacher's new street, in his home town of Kerpen, was revealed at a ceremony on Monday.

The German driver was on hand to greet around 500 fans that turned up to catch a glimpse of their hero. "It's always comforting to see how much support I get every time I come home," said the Ferrari star.

"It will be a great feeling to drive down that street," he added.
