Schumacher's delight over another title

Their seventh 1-2 finish of the season was enough to win the title, and after the race Schumacher revealed it was fitting that the team should wrap up the constructors' title at the track where it was humiliated last year by Fernando Alonso's Michelin-shod Renault.

"The constructors' championship is the main element we should talk about," said Schumacher. "To win in the style we have done it, after we, in a way, have lost [here] last year is something that shows why we have won it so early this time. Everyone is so great and deserves this win.

"After a superb start to the season, everyone kept going, and we had this very important test in Jerez where we came up with new solutions with our partners, which have worked very well at Hockenheim and, in particular, here. That's the result; that is why we have turned it around from last year to do this great result.

"Everything in the team works so well, it's just a great atmosphere. The good thing about Formula 1 is that it's always going forward, so you always have new things coming, new things to expect. Automatically it increases your motivation extremely.

"In particular being here last season not doing very well [at this race], knowing our work was so good, it was a good feeling during the [three week summer] break and I had great preparation for it. It just keeps going and I'll enjoy it as long as it does. One day it will finish, and we all know that."

Talking about today's race, Schumacher denied that it was as easy as it appeared from outside the cockpit.

"It was only easy today after the last pitstop, when I had a safe margin. Before that, I was pushing to the limit. On this difficult circuit, the car drives superbly well. Inside there's a bit more work going on than it looks from outside!

"There was a lot of lapping going on today, and a few guys didn't respect the blue flags, but it's difficult to find the right spot to move over here. Hungary is always difficult to pass."
