- Story Text: Tens-of-thousands of Formula One fans descended on the
Nuerburgring and saw local hero Ralf Schumacher win the
European Grand Prix.
Thousands of fans traditionally camp around the
Nuerburgring race track, turning the three-day event into a
non-stop party.
Many were Ferrari fans hoping to see Ralf's brother
Michael win, but he could only manage fifth place.
His Brazilian Ferrari teammate, Rubens Barrichello, was
third, with Ralf's Williams teammate, Juan Pablo Montoya,
second.
Five-times champion Michael Schumacher extended his
overall Formula One lead to seven points after McLaren's Kimi
Raikkonen was sidelined by an engine failure while leading.
