McLaren vow to end Schumacher’s reign

MCLAREN have vowed to put an early end to Michael Schumacher’s title celebrations.

The Ferrari driver captured his seventh world championship with second place in Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. But Kimi Raikkonen won in style to announce McLaren's return to the top step of the podium and team boss Ron Dennis joined the Finn in warning Ferrari to expect tough times ahead.

Dennis masterminded Mika Hakkinen's title double in 1998 and 1999 the last time Schumacher was beaten in the championship and his sights were trained on the German again.
