Ruthless Schu takes 72nd win of career

WORLD champion Michael Schumacher claimed his second win of the Formula One season and the 72nd of his career in yesterday's Malaysian Grand Prix, despite claims of gamesmanship against Ferrari.

Schumacher, who won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix two weeks ago, made the perfect start and was never seriously troubled as he led home Williams driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

The six-time world champion came home five seconds clear of Montoya in the 56-lap race to maintain his 100% start to the season and claim his third win at Sepang and his first in Malaysia since 2001.
