WINNERS
Seven times champion Michael Schumacher can take his 90th Grand Prix victory
this weekend. His win in Germany for Ferrari was his fifth of the season and
third in a row.
The German last won four successive races in 2004. He has never won four
races in a row and not been champion.
Renault's world champion Fernando Alonso, with six wins this season and 14 in
total, is the second most successful active driver.
Ferrari have won 188 races since the championship started in 1950. McLaren
have won 148, Williams 113 and Renault 32.

POINTS/PODIUMS
Schumacher's win in Germany was his 151st appearance on the podium. The
nearest other driver was Frenchman Alain Prost with 106 podiums between 1981 and
1993.
Alonso remains the only driver to have scored points in every race this
season as well as the only one to finish them all. His last retirement was in
Canada in June 2005.

COMEBACKS
Michael Schumacher has clawed back 14 points from Alonso in the last three
races. After the Canadian Grand Prix he was 25 points adrift of the Spaniard but
is now just 11 behind.
Should the German win the title, it will count as one of the great comebacks
in Formula One history but not the all-time record.
