Mercedes marked the 300th Grand Prix appearance for Michael Schumacher by presenting him with a front wing and nose bearing the name of every F1 race he has entered.

It includes all 91 of his Grand Prix wins highlighted in red.

Schumacher was also given a cake in the shape of the special helmet he wore to mark the race and a model car from Mercedes:

300 races is an incredible achievement. admittedly there are more races these days, but 18 seasons is fantastic longevity.

Does anyone know wether he received a penalty for cutting across Vettel?

    He was… naughty but he was a full car length ahead of Vettel, and that’s why he didn’t hit him.

I’m glad he finished the race, I thought it would be just his luck to have to retire.
