Belgian GP 2003 offered Schumacher the chance to overhaul F1's most longstanding record, that was Juan-Manuel Fangio's record of 5 Formula One Driver's World Championship Titles set in 1957. In 2003 he broke Fangio's record in which he faced a long sibling battle, eventually beating his brother Ralf Schumacher. At the age of 35, he won his 7th World Championship Title and engraved his name in F1 record books. He made a statement: "winning 13 races in the same year and taking title number seven in commanding style"
