Michael "Spa is my favourite circuit"
Michael said "The Belgian Grand Prix is one of those races that I really enjoy. The circuit has its own special magic, firstly because it is where I have had some of the most memorable racing moments, like my first GP or my first Formula One win. I also like Spa because it is close to my birthplace, Kerpen. I always joke about it but I consider Spa to be a 'home' circuit. The track is a real sporting test. Driving here, splendidly situated in the middle of the countryside, is fantastic. To be truthful, Spa is my favourite circuit. This year there is another factor to consider: our single-seater has not shown any sign of weakness on any of the tracks. It will be a pleasure to drive a car like the F2004 on a circuit like Spa. It's because of this that I am looking forward to taking on the famed and tricky curves like Eau Rouge. Naturally, I hope to enjoy the support of our fans who always seem to flock to Belgium. I am determined to do well for them and give them all a reason to celebrate. It will be a great weekend of racing."
