Just  hours  after  celebrating coming second in yesterday's Monaco  Grand  Prix,  Michael Schumacher  was  already  on a flight  to  the United States. Teammate Rubens Barrichello along with  test  drivers  Luca  Badoer and Luciano Burti will conduct  the  testing  work  ahead  of  round eight in Canada while  the  triple  world  champion  takes  the  opportunity to relax  a  little  in  one  of  his  favourite  countries    before preparing for Montreal.
Added  to  all this was last Saturday's celebrations when he reached  a  landmark  in  his   career  as  a   Ferrari   driver, achieving  the  milestone  of competing in 100 grand prix for the Scuderia.
“Working  for  such  a long time together shows great mutual trust.  So  for  it  has  been  a  great  time  and  I am looking forward  to  the  next  few  years  together. ”he said before putting  on   his   dinner   jacket  and  heading  off  for  the traditional  black  tie  evening  in  Monaco. “Very often, even a second  place  can  be very important and knowing that the Ferrari was  the  quickest car on the track shows there is no reason to be  pessimistic.  Basically, the most important thing is to consolidate the lead in the Championship.”
