Schumacher Posed with Title Dilemma

World Champion Michael Schumacher faced a dilemma after wrapping up a sixth constructors' title for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

World Champion Michael Schumacher faced a dilemma after wrapping up a sixth constructors' title for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The German cruised to a record 12th win from 13 races this season and could not decide at which of the last five circuits he would rather clinch his seventh World Championship.

Schumacher could mathematically win the drivers' crown at the Belgian Grand Prix on August 29.

But the dilemma for Schumacher is whether he would prefer a Championship party at Ferrari's home race, the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, two weeks later.

"Both races have an attraction to win the Drivers' Championship if I could do so," said Schumacher, who made his Formula One debut at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps in 1991.

Monza, however, is a favourite with the grandstands packed with 'tifosi' (Ferrari fans).

"Spa obviously has a lot of special meaning to me, it's very close to my home as well," he added. "Obviously Monza, Italy, has a different attraction that explains itself. If I have a possibility I will go for one or the other...but whether it's going to happen, that's another story."

Victory at Spa would crown Schumacher as champion. He has a 38-point advantage over teammate Rubens Barrichello, the only man who can mathematically prevent Schumacher from retaining his title.
