Michael Schumacher wins 2002 Formula One Driver's Championship at the 11th of 17 races. His fifth title ties him with Juan Manuel Fangio. Nigel Mansell won the championship at the 10th of 16 races in 1992.

Schuey also broke the record for most consecutive points finishes. As for the race, unbelievable, like Michael I was starting to believe that the WDC won't be won until Germany, but seeing Kimi go off because of the oil McNish spilt, that was a heart stopping moment. I absolutely loved the weave Michael did as he went down the pit straight. Best image of the day, Michael standing on his F2002.

The next few races will possibly be more exiting - Shumie has the championship in the bag and isn't going to be trying as hard. We might even see more than one overtaking attempt per race!
