Michael says "we can still improve"
Michael says "We always do well at Imola and I hope that we are able to live up to our billing as favourites. We shouldn’t be too relaxed. Testing took place when it was very cold and this contributed to us setting fast times. Also, I think that the other teams have improved a lot since then and so I don’t think that the difference between us and them will be that great. However, if things turn out as they did during testing, I sure won’t be complaining! Resting on our laurels serves no purpose, it will only lead to defeat. We always have to look a few steps ahead and continually improve and this is something that regards everyone. Even at Ferrari there is a lot that we can still improve. The European stages begin now and it is from here on that teams develop more consistency. We certainly can't relax in a period like this. It's precisely this that motivates every single member of the team and pressure is not problem. I've lived with it for ages, its what we have to do even though it seems to me that we manage quite well … don't you think?"
