Michael Schumacher states that although Hungary was dissapointing, it is now in the past and he is completely focussed on Turkey. Michael knows he must perform well in Istanbul and hopefully he will do better than last year's rather sub par race result. This is what Michael had to say about Hungary, Turkey and beyond:

"Everything that can happen over the course of a season seemed to happen in just a single race weekend! Now we have to look ahead to the five remaining rounds. But Hungary did not end up being so bad for us, because if you look at the race while Fernando was still in it, you could think the championship was over for us. But then in the end we got lucky and I got a point. I can still win the championship and that point could be very vital at the end of the season.

The main surprise last year was that we did not have a competitive package here. The track here is very challenging and we hope we are better prepared and competitive this year, so that we can put on a good show for all the Ferrari fans in Turkey, who were disappointed last year. I hope this weekend will be better and I believe it will be.

The championship did not look too good for us up to Indianapolis and some people thought the battle was over. But within three races we turned the situation around and that shows how quickly things change in this sport. We are optimistic about the rest of the season and have faith in our strengths."
