Michael Schumacher is confident about the race in Australia!!
The performance of Mercedes GP was one of the many surprises in the winter testing of Formula 1. Although they didn't started as well as they expected to, the upgraded pack which was presented in Barcelona changed amazingly the performance of the W02 with Michael Schumacher doing the fastest lap time of all the previous days in Barcelona. The German driver from Australia (where the first race of the season will be held, in Albert Park) expressed his confidence and believes that Mercedes GP will be the nearest competitor against Red Bull.
"I am looking forward to the start of the race after the winter tests. Mercedes has made a huge step forward with this year's car. The car is designed with efficiency and this was rewarded. Now we must prove that we have the opportunity to do so. But we must not overstate things and be realistic: the Red Bull team is a team which want to win. We believe that we can play a very important role behind them. There will be a group where I see Ferrari, Renault to stand very well in performnce, also Williams, do not forget McLaren, and us. I think they may be able to fight and be second, "said Schumacher.
