Ferrari were fined $100 000 on Sunday for ordering Felipe Massa to move aside and let teammate Fernando Alonso win the German Grand Prix.

Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton put McLaren on pole position for engine partners Mercedes' home German Grand Prix on Saturday.

Defending world champion Fernando Alonso is not worried about Michael Schumacher's current dominant form, despite being beaten by his rival for the third race in a row. Schumacher's fourth victory in his home race, the German Grand Prix, helped him slash Alonso's championship lead from 17 points to 11.

Michael Schumacher could not hide his surprise at Ferrari's dominance after he won the German Grand Prix for the fourth time at Hockenheim on Sunday. The seven-times world champion German led home his Brazilian teammate Felipe Massa for his third win in a row.

Michael Schumacher is confident of continuing his superb recent form in front of his home crowd at the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, Germany, this weekend. The seven-time world champion (37) has cut Spaniard Fernando Alonso's championship lead from 25 to 17 points after winning the last two races in dominant fashion.

The German Grand Prix resembled so many other races this season: a victory for Renault's Fernando Alonso and a breakdown for Kimi Raikkonen. On Sunday, Raikkonen started from the pole and led comfortably until the 36th lap when his McLaren-Mercedes stopped on the track with hydraulic problems.

McLaren showed their rivals the way ahead of Sunday's German Grand Prix when test driver Alexander Wurz finished fastest in the opening practice session in Hockenheim on Friday. The British team are aiming to chase down championship leaders Renault this weekend.

Michael Schumacher can look forward to noisy support from his loyal home fans at this weekend's German Grand Prix -- and not much else. A victory seems out of reach for the seven-time Formula One champion and his underachieving Ferrari team.
