Michael Schumacher [Ferrari] drove to an incredible victory in today's Grand Prix of China, which places him in a dead-even tie with Fernando Alonso [Renault] for the World Driver's Championship ... with just two races remaining in the 2006 season.
Alonso took advantage of his pole position early on to move to a 41-second lead during the rain-plagued initial stages of the race only to see Schumacher, who'd switched to dry-pavement tires as soon as conditions allowed, advance from ninth position to take the victory.
If you saw Alonso's demeanor during the post-race interview you saw the face of a driver who gave 110% and yet knows his season is finished ... as is any chance of wresting the world title from Schumacher's grasp.
