Germany 2006: Schumacher shrinks points gap.

Sunday, 30th July 2006

Michael Schumacher closed the world championship gap to just eleven points by inflicting another crushing defeat on his rivals, this time on home soil at Hockenheim.

Schumacher and Massa arrived in parc ferme some while before Raikkonen completed the podium party, giving the German the chance to soak up the adulation of the fans, and reflect on the fact that an eighth world title may now be more of a possibility. With Alonso salvaging fifth, the points gap tumbled to eleven with six races remaining. More importantly, however, the Spaniard can no longer rely on finishing second to the Ferrari, as he could when the season returned to Europe.

Game on!
