Race: Victory

Michael Schumacher drove a superb race today to take victory at the Nurburgring, his second victory in a row this season. Schumacher started 2nd and kept up to Fernando Alonso throughout the race, then outwitting the Renault team during his second pit stop to take the lead and the eventual victory. This is what Michael had to say about his excellent race:

"A great race, great strategy and a great performance from the whole team. I am happy for all of them and I think the result shows we are back, with car, engine, tyres and fuel all working superbly. At the start, I was in Alonso’s slipstream and I thought I was safe in second place as I could not see anything in my mirrors, but then luckily, I realised that Felipe was coming alongside me very quickly, but I managed to stay ahead. Apart from that, my only moment was when I ran a bit wide in turn 6, before the first pit stop. I pushed too hard as I thought I could catch Fernando there. It’s a very nice feeling winning my home Grand Prix. Unfortunately though, we have only made up two points on Fernando, but every point counts. I am also pleased for Felipe, getting his first F1 podium today and now I am looking forward to another good fight in Barcelona."
