| SUZUKA, Japan (AP) -- Michael Schumacher won a record sixth world title Sunday, and this one had an odd feel. He clinched the championship by finishing eighth in the Japanese Grand Prix.
The German held off Kimi Raikkonen for the title, getting a big lift from Ferrari teammate Rubens Barrichello. The Brazilian won the season-ending race ahead of Raikkonen, Schumacher's closest rival.
