He scored the highest score ever on the Williams engineering aptitude test, a test that all Williams drivers sit upon joining the team. He was also offered a place on the aeronautical engineering course at Imperial College London, which he declined. He hasn't actually got any formal engineering degree though.

well if it was to build the car Schumacher would win all day ...he wins every contest when it comes to fitting bits and pieces in those promo events...
He´s a mechanic ,and drove karts long time -one would expect he can handle some spanners...

So we need Hamilton and Schumacher ..Hamsy designing it and Schumacher doing the assembly..
