F1, Schumacher's team charged Mercedes

Schumacher is no longer concealed. Just off the candles for his 42 th birthday, the seven-time world champion ignites the audience at the F1 with a series of declarations of war. He did so, these days, on the eve of the presentation of MGP W02, the second full F1 Mercedes, which promises to be slightly modified forms (something like a nose a bit 'higher) and with a new livery: Norbert Haug Mercedes F1 team principal, has anticipated that the color of the new Silberpfeil (Silver Arrow) has been designed to put in evidenzale lines.

The Schumacher-thought, in this sense, is focused on absolute competitiveness, he said, has the W02. Phrases sent by return mail to the main opponents of the "silver torpedo", the Ferrari - fresh fresh presentation of the F150 - and the flagship of the "red" Fernando Alonso. In an interview with German newspaper Bild, Michael Schumacher says "Motivated, motivated.

My feelings are markedly different from those who felt a year ago. In January 2010, soon after the winter tests, I had soon realized that my role would not be fighting for top positions. Now, I intend to bring a car on the grid that makes me point to the top. " The curiosity to know how to see himself as a possible Schumacher World Champion 2011 is now satisfied.

The answer is concise, but calls for caution: "Do you know if I feel the pilots to enter the club candidates for the title? For the moment it is too early to tell." "The fact is - says Schumi - we know what our state of preparedness. But we do not know to what extent are the other teams." The admission, however, does not prevent Schumacher to send a challenge to Fernando Alonso, who last weekend, at the launch of the F150, had indicated that the Mercedes as a team can build a car from the best: "Alonso can be sure of one thing: we have improved.

And 'aware that we have devoted a lot of work to our car." But there may be more. It 'clear that, apart from Alonso, the lackluster performance offered by Michael Schumacher in 2010, and conversely the great championship team mate Nico Rosberg, have made him think, and not just on the need to begin a second life.

That the Mercedes W02 GP, if it is really so competitive, it also serves its indications come from Schumi? One wonders at this point, we will see if Schumacher champion for the eighth time. Obviously it is early to tell. However, the former Ferrari driver said in no uncertain terms, not to stay in the skin waiting for click the green light to the 2011 season.

My compliments go to the appropriate team led by Ross Brown ("It 's been done an excellent job"). Now, it's time to start winter testing. Soon we'll know.
