Schuey lauds 'strategy master'

Schumacher won the race from sixth on the grid, passing all the cars in front of him (except for Jarno Trulli's Renault which broke down at the start) while they were in the pits. His two-stop strategy was key to his success.

"The main responsibility, in this case, is down to Ross because he is the master of strategy," said Michael. "Whenever we are not sure then he will call the shots, but it was pretty straightforward, honestly, for us. The good thing about us is that we are a team and we discuss things together and we decide things together amongst ourselves.

Schumacher became the first man in history to win seven grands prix at the same circuit, but says he doesn't understand why he has such an affinity for the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

"I have no special reason why I have won so often here, there is no particular reason for it," said Schumacher. "I have always had a good package and this little bit of luck you need sometimes."
