Michael
Schumacher has undergone an intense week of testing in Italy
for Scuderia Ferrari and ran 2500km in the F2005. With the
opening of the European season, the world champion wants to
get back to the top in Formula 1. “There is no doubt about
this: our objective is to begin winning again and I think we
have a good chance” declared Schumacher.
After three
missed opportunities, the current world champion still has
sixteen races to compete in. “The World Championship,
despite the opinion of some pessimists, has not yet been
decided. For sure, the start of the season has not gone as
well as we would have liked but from the outside the
situation seems worse than it is in reality. We have had a
lot of bad luck. In Australia, for example, I could have
finished in the points if the weather had been better. I was
also very hopeful in Bahrain. The race for the world title
has not yet reached the decisive stage. The season is a long
one and the classification can change”.
But is the gap to the current leader, Fernando Alonso, too
large at 24 points? Michael shakes his head and smiles.
“Twenty four points seem like a lot but it is not impossible
to catch up”, he stated. ”We should remember that events
have gone in Fernando Alonso’s favour so far this season.
