Michael Takes Record 11th Win in Germany |
|
|
|
Michael
Schumacher equalled his own record of 11 wins in a
Formula One season as his domination of the 2004 campaign
continued with victory in his home German Grand Prix
at Hockenheim on Sunday. |
Michael
scored only his third win in his home race after taking
the lead from the start and coasting to the 81st victory
of his career and his 11th from 12 Grands Prix this
season. |
Michael
said "What a weekend this has been after pole
yesterday and victory today! I am extremely happy
and there are not words to describe this. I could
feel the emotion from the fans and I could hear their
noise even above the engine as I crossed the line.
To do this at home where I have not been so successful
in past years is just fabulous. It was a tough race
and I was under pressure first from Kimi and then
from Jenson and Fernando. I was able to keep the gap
but not really extend it. The team's pit work was
superb. I did feel under pressure because Jenson was
very quick and at one stage I was not sure if he was
only planning to stop twice or what pace he would
be able to run once he got past Fernando. So I had
to push flat out. How do I feel about 50 straight
races without a mechanical failure? It is self-explanatory,
it is wonderful and a result not just of the reliability
but the fact that everything in the team is spot on."
