Michael End Fiorano Testing - Record for Michael
Michael Schumacher was happy with the work in preparation for  the  next  two  races  at  Magny-Cours and Hockenheim.
He said “We  are  making  a  lot  of progress and we learned some  important  things  from  the  test, At  this time of year, it is usually very hot in  France  and  that  is  the factor that most influences  the  car’s behaviour. The track surface can be  slippery  and the tyres react in a different way to usual. That  means  it  won’t be an easy race, but we are confident and happy with the package at our disposal.”
“We  will try to take it at Magny-Cours, because I would like to  win  the  race.  But that on its own might not be enough to win the championship,  as  it does not only depend on me, but also on what the  others  will do. So it does not really matter if it waits until Hockenheim.”
