Germany Preview Quotes: Ferrari

Michael Schumacher: "I am sure that Hockenheim will be particularly interesting, above all because Ferrari could win the Constructors' title if the results go our way. Still, we don't feel any more pressure because of this; this year we are so strong as a team that a lot would have to happen for us to lose the title. If it won't happen this week, it'll happen sometime soon. In any case, I am pleased to be taking on this track, as I usually am. The final two curves are very tricky and it is important to have enough speed coming out of them in order to go into the straight that follows. I think we have a good chance, though it will be tough. I will be doing my best anyway. It will be a thrilling weekend."

Rubens Barrichello: "The British race proved that we were quite right to say the opposition is closing the gap to us in performance terms. McLaren came up with the big surprise, as it seems like only yesterday that they were struggling and in the last race they came good. You can never stop in Formula One and you have to constantly push to improve your package. My win in Germany in 2000 still means something to me and it's a fantastic feeling, as although the circuit might be completely different, it is still the same place. But on Friday, I will just pull my visor shut and start again with everyone on zero points and try and win again. I'm eager to do as well as I can. I am very relaxed at the moment as generally the last few, since Nurburgring in fact, have been quite good for me. There might have been a little something lacking for me to actually win races, but the possibilities for victory are always there and I think it will be the same situation this weekend."
