Like last week's win in France, Schumacher used some blistering lap times -- setting fastest lap four tours in succession -- to pull out enough time to pit and remain in the lead. But at Silverstone on Sunday he was closely chased for much of the race by Kimi Raikkonen in a newly revised McLaren-Mercedes. No difference; the Schumacher machine rolled on anyway.
