San Marino Grand Prix Highlights

Michael Schumacher wins the San Marino Grand Prix! After what seems to be a possible one-two finish at

Imola, Kimi Raikkonen ended up splitting the two Ferrari's with a 1st and 3rd spot finish for

the two Ferrari drivers to gear them up towards the championship as they have had a rather poor start

this season.

Here are the top 8 grid positions for today's race at Imola, San Marino:

This is Michael's first win of the season, not exactly the right time for a win with the death of his mother

after she fell from her home, the two brothers had to fly back home to Germany after yesterday's

Qualifying session to visit her on what seems to be the last time they ever get to see their mother. He and

his brother Ralf showed great courage to race under these circumstances which is without doubt difficult for

them to concentrate, but manage to pull through in the end. My condolences goes out to the Schumacher family.
