Schumacher wins Massa's kartrace

On Sunday Felipe Massa organised a go-kart race at the Ingleses Kart Track in Florianopolis, Brazil. A total of 23 drivers joined Felipe Massa for the two races. Michael Schumacher won the first race, while Lucas di Grassi won the second race.

The podium

Schumacher shone in both races and made the crowd go crazy. In a Monza style madness, hundredths of people invaded the track to join the podium ceremony. Schumacher's presence is guaranteed for next year. Asked if he was surprised with the victory in his first race at the circuit, he answered: "I told Felipe I was worried of getting the last place", he said. 

The invited drivers

Massa himself finished fifth in the overall standings, but thanks to the success of his event he didn't worry about his own performance too much. "I knew it would be hard to win again, because of the high level of the drivers that came here today, even higher than last year. It was nice to feel like in Monza, with the crowd crossing the track to get closer to the drivers", celebrated Massa.
