Question :
Michael,
have you had a chance to celebrate, to relax
a little bit since last Sunday?
|
| M.Schumacher
:
Basically, we had a very good party which was not
pre - organised but went very well
in the end. It started an hour or
two after the race and finished on the Monday
after. It has been nice
to see the mechanics, the engineers enjoying themselves
so much. It is something that hasn't been natural
with the Italians to do so. Whenever we
had a good moment we would celebrate together they were
a bit stiff and in the meantime after all the years
we have had a few occasions and this celebration
we have had at Magny Cours was very special as well,
the one last year in Budapest as well was
very special so it is really
good to see them enjoying it.

| Question :
What
are your aims for the rest of the
season. Are you just as determined
to win or are you going to be more
relaxed?
|
| M.Schumacher
: Certainly
as the championship is, from the drivers'
point of view, finished we just look for
each event to win it. You know
the way I look at it now, I try to win rather
than to lose, naturally, so that is my aim, especially
in Hockenheim, where my record is not very high.
In 1995 here was my first win, so I would like to get
a number two here.

| Question :
To
what extent will you be helping Rubens?
|
| M.Schumacher:
One thing we discussed with the team is that he
is going to have the T-car
from now on and, well, in the other situation,
what happens on the circuit,
I think statements have been
made after Austria.
|
|
Question :
I see you have got a new cap. Is it true you have
a new helmet as well?
|
| M.Schumacher
:
Not
that I know of.
|
|
Question :
We
are racing the new track. How much were
the drivers involved in the
design?
|
| M.Schumacher
:
I
have been approached by
the circuit designer and we
discussed a couple of
things. I don't remember exactly
what the initial project was like and how it is now.
I have not been on the circuit yet to see
the final solution but the general trend to
have a slow corner, a long straight and
a slow corner, that is something
that comes from the drivers
to actually create overtaking possibilities. We
see that we have a sort of S shape
as a start to a long corner. I don't know
what kind of input this
will have, whether this will increase or decrease
the opportunities of overtaking.
