Schumacher was the only driver using Bridgestone tires to start in the top 10. He qualified 6th - Alonso was on pole. On a wet track, Schumacher erased a 25 second deficit to pass Alonso and win the race. Alonso struggled with one pit stop, but that wasn't the deciding factor.

If this was the only time Schumacher dominated on a wet track you might say he got lucky. But he's done it again and again and again.

Yup, it's all car.
