Michael Schumacher took his 65th career pole position today during qualifying in Bahrain today. This puts the 7-Time World Champion on equal terms with Ayrton Senna's record of 65 poles, one of the only records Michael has yet to break in his illustrious career. This is what Schumcher had to say about equaling Ayrton's record:

"Today I've also equalled a rather special record; that of the number of pole positions set by Ayrton Senna, something I'm very proud of."

Should Michael continue on the form established so far this weekend for the rest of the season, there is no reason to believe he won't take the record from Senna once and for all.
