Michael
said "Last year this race was
one of the highlights of the season. I had
won the Drivers' Championship at
the previous race and came
to Germany with the feeling that
I could really celebrate the
title with my fans. On top
of that, I was very confident about my
chances in the race, which is not all
the common at Hockenheim. Victory
came after years of trying with Ferrari
and when I stood on the podium, I felt
like the happiest man in the world. With that in mind,
obviously I can't wait to return
to Germany, ready to fight on track. This year, the
race definitely looks a much tougher prospect
than last season's and everyone at Ferrari is aware
of that, but it is not an
impossible task. Recently, we have made significant
progress, so we feel well prepared. We can expect
a very tough race. Several times
this year we have seen that
the true performance level of the teams at various
circuits has only been revealed over
the course of the weekend. This applies
particularly to those circuits where we do not
usually test and Hockenheim is one of these, so we
will have to wait and see
what we can do. It can be considered as a
track which is not particularly
suited to the Ferrari, but of course
we will be out to
prove the opposite."
