Michael Schumacher has won a record sixth Formula One drivers' championship with eighth place in the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka.
Ferrari's Michael Schumacher won a record sixth Formula One championship on Sunday in a Japanese Grand Prix won by
Schumacher's Brazilian team mate Rubens Barrichello won the race as Ferrari claimed the constructors' championship for an unprecedented fifth year in a row.
The German, passing the mark he had shared with late Juan Fangio, won the title by finishing eighth in a damp season-ending race of fluctuating fortunes.
Schumacher clipped the rear of the BAR driven by Japan's Takuma Sato after seven laps in an accident that sent him to the back of the field and was then almost shunted out by younger brother Ralf 11 laps from the end.
The sole point took his final tally to 93 points, with championship rival Kimi Raikkonen on 91 after finishing second in a race he had to win while hoping Schumacher would fail to score any points.
Briton's David Coulthard and Jenson Button finished third and fourth respectively.
