Schumacher relaxed and raring to go

Newly-crowned world champion Michael Schumacher is fighting fit for this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, which if he wins will see him set the record for the number of victories in a single season

Schumacher has fond memories of the Hungaroring as it was on the twisty eastern European track that he clinched his fourth world championship last year. With the pressure of wrapping up this year's title now off his shoulders, the German says that he's determined to enjoy the remaining five races of the season.

"When I am out of the cockpit for too long, I start to get withdrawal symptoms!" he said. "I am in top shape and can tackle this season's remaining races in a calm fashion. I can only repeat that, racing with less pressure is definitely more enjoyable and that the Ferrari team has already met most of its objectives.

"To round off the season in the best possible way, we now want to win the Constructors' title and do all we can so that Rubens finishes second in the Drivers' classification. That is what we want and I will do all in my power to ensure it happens."

Schumacher has won the Hungarian Grand Prix on three previous occasions: last year, 1998 and 1994.
