Michael Schumacher's five-year reign as Formula One's champion is over.
Schumacher's 10th-place finish in Sunday's Italian Grand Prix mathematically eliminated him from the championship race. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso's second-place finish set up the possibility that the 24-year-old Spaniard could clinch this season's title at the Belgian GP next Sunday.
"The championship was obviously lost a while ago, but we have had a lot of good years before this one," said Schumacher, whose slim chances of staying in the championship hunt evaporated when he drove off track near the end of the race, causing damage to his car.
