In winning the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours this afternoon, Schumacher clinched the championship, his third in a row, with six races still to be run, the earliest the championship has ever been won. Fangio is the only other G.P. driver to have won three consecutive championships. Schumacher has 61 Formula One wins in 173 race starts; next most victories is Alain Prost with 51. Prost also won four world championships, Ayrton Senna three. Ferrari is closing on its fourth consecutive world constructor's championship. Chapeaux to Michael and the entire Ferrari Scuderia.
