Schumi and Vettel win Nations' Cup
Sebastian Vettel's incredible
winter continued this evening as
he joined forces with fellow
Formula 1 world champion
Michael Schumacher to give
Germany victory in the Race of
Champions' Nations' Cup contest
for the fourth consecutive year.
The annual end-of-season RoC
showdown between stars from
across all motorsport disciplines,
who fight it out in one-on-one
contests in a variety of cars
around an arena, has moved to
Germany for the first time this
year, taking place in Dusseldorf.
At first it looked like Schumacher
and Vettel might be hard-
pressed to continue their
Nations' Cup winning streak, as
both suffered shock defeats in
the initial heats - Vettel losing
out to Tanner Foust and Travis
Pastrana, both American extreme
sports stars, and Schumacher
being pipped by Belgian IndyCar
driver Bertrand Baguette.
But winning their other three
group-stage heats allowed
Schumacher and Vettel to sneak
through on a tie-break at the
expense of Team USA's Pastrana
and Carl Edwards, the German
duo's best times being crucially
slightly quicker.
