On this day: August 29, 2004 - Five titles in a row sees Michael Schumacher ... - Sport360°

Having already secured six drivers titles, two at Benetton and four consecutive with Ferrari, the German great was on the verge of breaking Juan Manuel Fangio’s 47-year-old record of five straight titles heading into 2004 Belgian Grand Prix. Schumacher was leading the Drivers’ Championship by 38 points from team-mate Rubens Barrichello. A poor start saw Schumacher slip from second to fourth. But in Ferrari’s 700th GP, he fought back to claim second ahead of Barrichello and claim his seventh title. 1977: St Louis Cardinal Lou Brock eclipses Ty Cobb’s 49-year-old career stolen bases record at 893 as Padres win 4-3. 1987: Portuguese athlete Rosa Mota wins Women’s Marathon at World Chapionships in Rome in 2hr 25:17mins.
