Another record waylaid

Michael Schumacher made Formula 1 history again yesterday as he won the French Grand Prix for the 8th time. He is the only driver to win a GP eight times.

And boy did he do it in a convincing manner.

The fun began in qualifying when Schumi came out of the pit lane after Alonso during the final round of qualifying, but then overtook him during the warm-up lap and went on to set the fastest time and clinch pole position.

He then set the fastest lap of the race and won comfortably. Alonso, by virtue of a great 2 pit stop strategy, managed to leapfrog Filipe Massa into second place.

It was a great race to watch. And another lackluster performance from Kimi Raikonnen. He started 6th on the grid and finished 5th because of Jarno Trulli's retirement from the race. He was completely out paced in every aspect. I don't know about you, but I think the Iceman is a melted puddle right now. And he was moving as fast as a glacier.

Maybe he should think of moving to Nascar as well!
