With Michael Schumacher’s win in Belgium today Germany have clinched the 2001 F1Page Nations’ Cup. They currently have a 102 point lead over Great Britain (165-63) and with a maximum of 78 points available in the final three events of the year their lead is unassailable.

The German competitors — who also won the F1Page Nations’ Cup last year — are Heinz-Harald Frentzen (6), Nick Heidfeld (11), Michael Schumacher (104) and Ralf Schumacher (44).

The U.S. Grand Prix on September 30th will be shown live on ABC in the U.S. and then tape-delayed coverage of the event will air later the same day on Speedvision. The Speedvision broadcast will apparently contain extra content which will not be seen in ABC’s live broadcast and will also benefit from having their regular F1 broadcasting team.
