Michael Schumacher captured his record breaking 66th career pole today as he went fastest in qualifying for the San Marino Grand Prix. Michael completed dominated all three of the qualifying sessions, to set the fastest time, 2 tenths of a second faster than Honda’s Jenson Button. This was Michael Schumacher’s record breaking 66th career pole, finally taking the record from Ayrton Senna. Schumacher is now set for an excellent Grand Prix. This is what the 7-Time World Champion had to say about qualifying:

We have worked very hard in recent weeks, so it’s wonderful to see it all come right for us. But to be honest, I am not surprised that we have done well. It is very nice to be back on pole again and of course, the fact it is my 66th and so a new record is something very special for me. At the moment, I am concentrating totally on this weekend so I think I will only really appreciate fully what I have done at a later time. Yesterday, I said I was aiming for pole and the win. Today we have reached the first target and I hope I can make the second one tomorrow. I am convinced we have a good chance of winning.
