Description

The 2002 French Grand Prix (formally the Mobil 1 Grand Prix de France 2002) was a Formula One motor race held at Magny-Cours on 21 July 2002. It was the eleventh race of the 2002 Formula One World Championship, last race on the original layout and the race in which Michael Schumacher secured his fifth World Drivers' Championship title, equalling Juan Manuel Fangio's record set over 40 years before. As this was only the eleventh round of the season, Schumacher set the record for the earliest point in a season that the Formula One Drivers' Championship had ever been decided, leaving six races remaining in the 2002 season. McLaren-Mercedes drivers Kimi Räikkönen and David Coulthard finished second and third respectively.
