Records and stats don't matter, says Schumacher

WORLD champion Michael Schumacher dismissed his latest Formula One record as meaningless after winning yesterday's Spanish Grand Prix.

The German already held records for the number of titles, wins, championship points and fastest laps among others and added another to that list when he equalled the best-ever start to a season.

His fifth win from five races, coming despite an exhaust problem in Barcelona, put Schumacher level with Nigel Mansell, who enjoyed a similar run at the start of the 1992 season.
