It needn’t necessarily be a winning race to be among best races. If not for the Spanish or the Italian, the German could have won this race despite for the fact that he started the race at 13th place. Schumacher using his experience and skills to move up through the positions until he had to fight for the 3rd place against Italian Trulli for almost 20 laps. Later using his pit stop timing Schumacher went ahead of him to trail Alonso neck to neck.

From 50th lap till the last 62nd lap Schumacher was right on Alonso’s tail looking for some minute mistake from the in-form Spanish driver. However, the battle for the top spot was prevailing throughout the later stages of the race and Alonso successfully defended his spot being ahead of Schumi only by 0.2 seconds. The Spanish hero Alonso went on to win the season putting halt to Schumacher’s streak of 5 titles.
