Watch out McLaren says Schumacher
Michael Schumacher warned Mika Hakkinen that Ferrari's world championship challenge will only get stronger
The double champion was speaking on the eve of the race he was won four times in five years
He trails the world champion by just four points as the two Ferraris sat 1-2 on the grid at the end of the first day's practice with Schumacher ahead of Irvine, Hakkinen and David Coulthard.
'We have a good chance of winning here,' he said.
'We are only four points behind with the mistake I made in Canada - we didn't have that luxury last year.
'That is a good situation to be in considering what we have coming.
'The season has 10 races to go and there are still enough points to decide the championship in our favour.
'And we usually get stronger in terms of development towards the end of the season - we have done in the last two years.
'But that does not mean it will automatically happen this year.'
