Like the movie that I enjoyed thoroughly, the race was equally exciting. Ross Brawn and Jean Todt's race strategy paid off, and the Ferraris made it through the race with two stops.
Also, you have to put it down to Teutonic efficiency: Michael Schumacher didn't spin once through the whole race, or oversteer, or understeer. Just a textbook-perfect race.
This win threw up a number of interesting statistics:
It made Michael Schumacher the first driver in F1 history to win 7 times at any circuit.
This was Schumi's 7th win of the season.
His 77th win from 203 starts.
It takes his points tally to 70 for this season.
It puts him well on the way to winning a historic - and record breaking -
Whew! 'nuff said!
Other noteworthy events included Takuma Sato's engine blowing up spectacularly in the race - he's started making it a habit now, much like Juan Pablo Montoya used to do two years ago. The Williams and Toyota teams were later disqualified, which meant that it turned out to be a Ferrari 1-2. That moved Jenson Button up to 3rd place, allowing Jordan rookie Timo Glock to win a point on debut.
