Schumacher sets new lap record

Michael Schumacher became the fastest man to complete a lap of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve as he again served notice of his intent ahead of tomorrow’s Canadian Grand Prix.

Fernando Alonso had initially become the first driver to clock a sub-74 second lap of the 4.361km track, only for Schumacher to hook up his Ferrari in the dying moments of the third of four practice sessions.
