Michael has a special place in the heart of the Tifosi and SF. As Sagi mentioned, possibly more than any other team in almost any other sport, being part of Scuderia Ferrari is being part of a family.
I remember back when it was announced that Schumi would comeback and drive for Ferrari, there was some pain, but there was also joy and wishes that he would have some degree of success - well at least when it wasn't SF winning. Many people may not know this, but, during his 3 years at Mercedes, he would still come and eat in the Ferrari team kitchen during races - his favourite meal was pasta aglio e olio. He was also part of Ferrari special events and fund raisers.
When the chips are down, your family will be there for you - well that's what family means for me anyway. And that's what Schumi is getting now from the Tifosi.
