Ralf Targets Second San Marino Victory

Williams driver Ralf Schumacher returns to the place where he scored his first Grand Prix victory last season in a confident mood following his strong start of his 2002 campaign.

Williams driver Ralf Schumacher returns to the place where he scored his first Grand Prix victory last season in a confident mood following his strong start of his 2002 campaign.

Schumacher won last year's San Marino Grand Prix at the Imola circuit after a dominant performance at the wheel of the Williams, and is in second place in this year's Championship following a victory in Malaysia and a second place in Brazil two weeks ago.

Now Schumacher is confident of being able to repeat last year's performance and reduce the gap to his brother Michael in the standings.

"To be perfectly honest, I would like to claim a victory that I missed in Brazil," admitted Schumacher. "The San Marino track suits me, with lots of fast parts, and of course last season I achieved my first victory there, so there is no reason why we shouldn't be very competitive again.

"In any case, Ferrari showed at Interlagos that their new car is quicker than the old one, so we must do our best and work hard for the team to be successful in Imola."
