| Michael 'We will
attack again' |
|

As
a driver, Michael Schumacher has learnt a lot in a
career rich in success, but also marked by a few difficult
moments. He has definitely learnt
to stay calm in critical
times. Therefore, after the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend,
where everything that could go wrong
did, the World Champion prefers
to look ahead rather
than back.

"The
2003 Formula 1 season is now
entering its decisive phase, with three drivers very
close in the order, so from now
on we must concentrate
very hard. Budapest was
a negative weekend and obviously,
after the race, I was pretty disappointed,
especially as I expected more after
practice on Friday and
Saturday," explained Michael.
"Unfortunately, a few things
went wrong in qualifying
and the race, so we were unable to show our
true potential. However, I am convinced that we can
still get a lot more out of our package and we will
try and do that in the remaining races. "In
the first week of September, we have an intensive
test programme to undertake with lots of things
to try out in all areas. Our team is strong
and united, so I am confident. You can feel that
everyone is motivated to do
their best in this fight for
the title. Team spirit is one of our strong
points. Like everyone in the team, I believe
in our ability."

The
testing ban continues this
week and like the other Formula
1 drivers, Michael will be able to spend a few days
relaxing with his family. Starting next Tuesday, the
German will take part in testing
at Monza, before heading for
the Nurburgrinig and that
Sundays Michael Schumacher Fan Day, along
with all his fans.

It
is understandable that Michael is really keen
to get back to work behind the wheel. "We
will work hard and prepare for the final three
races," said Michael. "The title race
has become very close. I have
never shied away from a fight and even
now I am ready to fight
for the championship. I am convinced
we will make significant progress
and we will be able to
attack again."
