Schumacher leads home a Ferrari one-two
Michael Schumacher played it cool, bided his time and then took the US Grand Prix victory - his fourth straight win at the fabled brickyard. Starting from Pole Position, Schumacher lost out to the fast-starting Felipe Massa on the run down to turn one and then shadowed his team-mate before taking the position during the first round of pit stops. From that point it was job done for Schumacher who controlled his pace for the remainder of the event and crossed the line eight seconds ahead of Massa - who was never going to threaten his team-leader following the pit stops. With Ferrari dominant first and second on their Bridgestone rubber, Giancarlo Fisichella drove a solid race to third, fighting his way passed his struggling team-mate to take the chequered flag in third position, just under nine seconds behind Massa.
