Michael Schumacherhas recovered from flu and is itching
to chalk up a record 12th victory of the season at
this weekend's Hungarian GP.
|
He
was hampered by illness at his home race in Germany
but the six-times World Champion says he is refreshed
after the three-week break in the race calendar. |
Michael
said "I don't see why in Hungary we shouldn't
fight for first place, In my opinion, Renault, BAR-Honda
and McLaren will do well but our car is good and I
will be going all out for victory. "
|
"You
should not interpret the word 'pause' that is associated
with this period of the season as meaning that nothing
gets done. It's important to train hard for (this
race) and I have trained a lot. I started a week later
as I had to recover from the flu that had bugged me
at Hockenheim." |
Michael
has been rafting and rock climbing during the break
from racing, but he said the break will not deflect
him from his romp towards a seventh title. |
He
added "I am pleased that it is finally time to
get behind the wheel again, I am a sporty type but
right now I want to do nothing other than race. I
can't wait for Friday (practice) when I can drive
out of the pitlane at last."
|
Michael
said he is not worried what other teams do. |
"Naturally,
I cannot know if they have done anything during the
break but I think that there will not be any drastic
changes." |
"We
cannot rule out the possibility that some teams may
have made extreme modifications. I think the competition
in general is always alive and our competitors will
make things very difficult for us." |
As
a real sport lover, Michael knows that the Olympics
will open this weekend and he is looking forward to
spending a few hours in front of the television. "The
Olympics have always interested me and I have my fingers
crossed for the German squad!" |
