Michael (who ran Bridgestone’s harder tyre): his victory made him the first man in history to win seven straight races in the same Grand Prix season.
Few would have bet against Michael Schumacher taking his 12th victory of the season at the Hungarian Grand Prix. He duly delivered – leading the race from the P1 grid spot earned by yesterday’s searing qualifying performance, all the way to the chequered flag.
In the drivers’ stakes, Schumacher has almost four race wins worth of points in hand over Barrichello and Button has drawn right away from Trulli, who is now only a point ahead of Renault team mate Alonso.

Spa up next:

I believe the only race Schuey lost this year was the one someone rammed him from behind 'n' knocked out his car. He's one of the best right there with Jimmy (Clark , of course) It's a shame americans are so ignorant of this 'n' show there colors in NASCAR.

I attended the Montreal Grand Prix this year and would highly recomend it next for those that would want to attend. The crowd is vastly different as well as more diversified to that of NASCAR. You'll range from the snobish rich, the unpretentious well to do right onto the shade tree mechanic as well as the biker. Not to mention the women as well as cars one lets thier eyes feast on. It's quite interesting talking to an asian woman speaking french, while later on talking to a distinguished looking man who slids up after your talk to slip into his brand new ferrari, as well as your typical american lookin' biker dude who only speaks french. The whole atmosphere doing the weekend is a celebration of speed doing the day and death at night (most World Champions end tragically) with Mardi Gras atmosphere. Let's not forget the race itself where the cars (the SOUND) run at 18,000 to 19,000 RPM as oppose to that of a NASCAR at what 9,500 RPM. My seats this year where at the end of the home stretch at which point they'd gear down into an S turn pop into a litle dogleg (where cars came out of the pits, if the cars where three wide it would force someone off the track {it's not like you slow up coming into traffic}) then shoot up a hill out of sight as you'd hear 'em gear up as they shoot down a long strech. They're large monitors on the track to see what's going on elsewhere. You could sit down by the hairpin where they're flying down a long strech at 195mph as they gear down (have I mentioned the SOUND as they run down the gears {unlike the old days when they would heel 'n' toe faster then a tap dancer}[remember clutches are on the steering wheel nowadays]) to 15mph to hit the hairpin as well as a great place to pass. Of course if your cup of tea is to only make lefts and be stuck in one gear (flat out) I'm sure you'd make an imaginative lover as well.
