Ralf Schumacher
“If I am heading far afield I`m a big fan of Dubai. People imagine that it`s always scorching hot in that part of the Middle East, but Dubai actually has a very pleasant climate outside of the very hot summer months. Contrary to some reports, I don`t own a place there – but I do like to visit because the hotel are great and the hospitality is excellent.
 “During the winter months, I love to spend time in ski resort of St. Johann, near Kitzbühel in the Tirol region of Austria. It`s about an hour`s drive from my house. I tend to go with friends and family to do some skiing and things like that, and I find it a very relaxing place to be when we`re outside the Formula 1 season.”
