Whirlwind display puts Schu back on track
Fears of devastation from Typhoon Ma-on caused qualifying to be postponed on Saturday. But the storm missed the circuit and left Schumacher free to stage his own whirlwind display under blue skies on race day.
The German driver tore apart the opposition to take a unique one-day double as he claimed his 13th victory of the season, having secured his eighth pole position of the year earlier in the day. His victory also gave world champions Ferrari a record-equalling 15th win of the season to leave them needing one more victory, in the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix, to break the record they hold jointly with McLaren.
