Schumacher leads Ferrari One -Two in the French Grand Prix Qualifying
Published by Tikna on Saturday, July 15, 2006 at 7/15/2006 06:45:00 amFerrari began the weekend on a good note, capturing a one-two with Schumacher claiming his record 68th career pole (barely beating teammate Felipe Massa by barely .017 seconds) , and reigniting rumours that Ferrari has resurfaced as the team to beat, it is still early days as no one knows what will happen in the race, but, Alonso's claims that Renault will be dominating in France seem to have been quashed. Nico was the unlucky person of the race, his 9th place will now be 19th due to a change in their Cosworth engine. Jarno continuing his good run was 4th, just getting past teammate Ralf Schumacher.
