Schumacher eyes another F1 record
London, Aug 27: World champion Michael Schumacher has the perfect backdrop to make Formula One history and celebrate another Ferrari milestone in Sunday`s Belgian Grand Prix.
If he wins again on Sunday, Schumacher will become the first man to win 10 races in a single season as well as the first to win six times at one of grand prix racing`s greatest and most demanding tracks.
The champion, who took his fifth title in France last month with six races to spare and helped Ferrari to their fourth constructors crown in a row at the last race in Hungary, can also continue several record runs.
A Ferrari driver has been on the podium now for the last 49 races while Schumacher himself has notched up a record 15 podium finishes in succession.
He has also scored points in 18 races in a row.
"It`s obvious that I have the best memories of Spa," Schumacher said this week. "So much has happened there in the course of my time as a driver that I am always keen to come back.
"Spa-Francorchamps is simply one of the last "old" tracks. There aren`t too many of them left. You drive a track like that with a very special feeling." Bureau Report
