Michael happy to get back to racing
After the three week summer break Formula One returns to action at this weekend's inaugural Turkish GP and Michael Schumacher is ready to go back to work. While F1 was on holiday the Ferrari man still couldn't stay away from engines, although this time on two wheels instead of four on a bike trip through Norway.
Michael said  "The trip  by  motorbike  across  Norway  with a couple of friends was fantastic, The countryside and scenery were unique. A Norwegian friend showed us some amazing places. It was not my first summer in Norway but this was really a unique experience. In Norway we had the best days of the last two weeks."
Now the reigning champion is eager to be back in competition. "After the break there is even more impatience to get back on the track," he commented. "This short break was perhaps necessary for some people but, if I had the choice, I wouldn't have taken it. I am pleased to be getting going again."
Michael Schumacher has spent some quality time with his family and friends.
Michael and Corinna then moved on to Saint Tropez to celebrate the birthday of Jean Todt’s partner, Michelle. It was then time for the children: Michael voluntarily joins in with the kids’ game. Naturally the German has been in training and Michael will be in perfect shape for Istanbul. The fact that it is an unknown circuit does not worry him as it is the same for every driver. Also on his side is the vast experience he has gained over the years.
Michael said "I think I can adapt very well to the new track, I have not had the chance to take a good look at the circuit yet but I think that it is a mixed one with long, fast curves. It seems an interesting one. We will see how things go."
