"I want to go for victory" |

Ferrari
number one Michael Schumacher has revealed that he
heads to the French GP this weekend in a 'calm frame
of mind', confident that the Scuderia can again go
for the ultimate prize - namely a win.
|
Speaking
in the build to another set of back-to-back races,
at Magny-Cours then Silverstone he added that there
is no reason to believe the F2004 won't perform well,
following its more than dominant performance in the
first half of the season. |
| "I
like both tracks as a sporting challenge as they are
quite difficult to drive," said Schumacher, referring
to the French and British GP's. "Magny Cours can definitely
be described as 'testing' and not only for the high
temperatures. |
| "The
heat renders life very hard during the race as the track
surface tends to become more and more slippery as the
race goes on and the driver has to adapt to this. We
have tested intensively at Barcelona and, in my opinion,
we are well prepared for Magny Cours. Until now, there
has not been a single circuit on which this fantastic
car has not performed well. So, I am going into the
French race in a calm frame of mind. |
| "I
think that we can go for the win at Magny Cours and
I will be trying hard to keep the good results going.
I want to go for victory and I think that Ferrari, once
again, is in good shape." |
