Schumacher among Time's five most influential personalities

NEW YORK, APRIL 11. Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, NBA All-Star LeBron James and sailor Ellen MacArthur are among five sportspeople who appear in the Time Magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people.

The eclectic list, which hits the newsstands on Monday, ranges from the Dalai Lama to the inventors of the Blackberry, and from terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to Nobel laureate Nelson Mandela.

Joining Schumacher, James and MacArthur from the world of sports were Chelsea soccer team owner Roman Abramovich, and World Anti-Doping Agency chief Richard Pound.

Adventurist Steve Fossett called MacArthur an inspiration after setting the solo around-the-world record, while Pink Floyd Drummer said ``watching Schumacher compete is a chance to see the most complete driver the world has known give a master class in motor racing.'' — AP
