Ferrari gain an extra 2 points - 7th August 00:47am GMT

BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica was disqualified from the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, handing Ferrari's Michael Schumacher a vital point despite his retirement three laps from the end.

The point awarded to the seven-times world champion for eighth place trimmed the overall lead of Renault's Fernando Alonso to 10 points with five races remaining and everything to play for.

Schumacher had been classified ninth in the provisional results, even though he did not finish, with all the other drivers at least three laps behind.

Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa moved up to seventh and the extra two points allowed Ferrari to reduce Renault's lead in the constructors' championship to seven points.

This now means that if Michael wins the remaining races in the championship then he will take the title.
