Michael Schumacher strides into his first F1 press conference in three and a half years before all the other drivers, like he's practicing for Turn One. It's strange not to see him wearing red, but it feels like he's never been away. He doesn't look a day older for a start, and if anything he seems thinner. His haircut never changes - not that you would ever know under the permanently affixed baseball cap.
He sits centre stage, surrounded by Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa. These are the men that have dominated F1 since he retired in 2006. "It's good to have Michael back because he makes me feel young again," jokes Jenson, who turned 30 recently. Michael nods sagely, bearing a wide smile.
Everyone is dressed in t-shirts except Michael. He is in his race suit. A signal, perhaps, that he's ready.
It's Thursday afternoon in Bahrain. One journalist asks the drivers if they've been out to inspect the track. Only one hand goes up: Michael's.
The current generation of drivers is the most competitive for years. Possibly decades. But if there was ever a warning not to be complacent, it's to sit next to the seven times chap and hear that, while you were in bed, he was looking at braking points.
Fernando acknowledges this: "Winning with Michael on the track has more value". Michael appreciates the sentiment, and pats the Spaniard's shoulder. He bowed out before when Alonso beat him. He has since said, after 15 years of campaigning in F1, he was tired. Now he has recharged his batteries.
Another journalist perks up: "You're twice a winner here. What do you think about the circuit?" Michael's response is instant: "Bring on number three."
I believe cufflinks are a new big thing in mens fashion. There is truly no other accessory a man can wear that can add such a lot to his looks without subtracting from his class and style. Jewellery, eccentric clothing styles, and other flashy trends are very good, but none have the class that cufflinks provide. Most men just don't realize how much it can enhance their appearance.
