Five in five for Schumacher

©CahierArchive

On this day in 2004, Michael Schumacher made it five wins out of five with victory at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. Schumacher's achievement equalled that of Nigel Mansell in 1992 which remains the highest number of consecutive victories from the start of a season, with the German duly going on to wrap up his seventh and final drivers' championship. Nico Rosberg can equal Schumacher's feat at the same circuit this weekend.
