Michael looking forward to Silverstone

Michael arrived  at  the Silverstone circuit for this Sunday’s British GP  to be met by  his  team - mate,  R.Barrichello, who was  bearing  the  Brazilian  soccer  shirt  with  goal - scorer Ronaldo’s  name  on  the  back  and  the  legend  (2-0) on the front,  as  testimony  to  the  score  in  the  World Cup  Final against  Brazil.  Michael said  with a smile  “I  had  prepared  a  similar  shirt,  but unfortunately I never got the chance to wear it,  Germany  played  very  well in the final and we can be  proud.   But  it  was  Brazil’s  day   and  they   definitely deserved  the  win.”

Back  in   the  world  of   Formula 1,   Michael   faced   many questions  about  how  he  felt  coming  to  the  British  track “I am  always  happy  to  come  to Silverstone, even if I have only  won  here  once,   because I have had some great races here. Not long ago,  Rubens  did  three days testing here and they  were  very  encouraging.  Then,  even  if this is home to our  rivals,  Ferrari  still  has  a  lot  of  fans here. I am very determined and motivated.”
