Ralf says pressure is on to repeat GP win

It took the 25-year-old German 70 Grands Prix to break his duck, but now triple world champion Niki Lauda says he believes it is only the first of many.

While the hype merchants and the bookies have installed him as third favourite for the championship and victory has brought him out of the shadow of his brother, world champion Michael, Schumacher arrived for the fifth round in Spain saying little other than the expectation has altered in his life.

"Nothing has changed really and there is no reason for it to be so either," he said. "I am happy for the team and happy for the result, but this is the next race and there is pressure on us to prove that we are competitive again.

"Niki told me the first win is the most difficult. The others come a lot more easily and that there will be a lot more to come. I hope he is right."
