Great sports stars are able to put setbacks behind them better than others. Without this capacity, and it is no secret, they would not be successful and able to reverse difficult situations. This is exactly what Michael Schumacher intends to do in the final four races. "Okay, the Istanbul race did not go our way in terms of the championship. Now things have become tougher," explained a determined Schumacher on Monday. "However, anyone thinking that we would hide our heads in the sand would be very wrong. We are still going for the title and this is the desire of each and every one of us. There are still 40 points up for grabs and so it is a possibility.

"We will continue attacking, putting on the pressure and taking risks as this is the only tactic possible. I don't usually like making promises but I would like to make just one: we will continue doing all that we can to take the title." The fact that Ferrari, after its fine showing in Turkey, has closed the gap in the Constructors' championship has helped Michael Schumacher to overcome the delusion.
 

"This should not be undervalued, neither should Felipe's performance. He raced excellently and I want to congratulate him once more. He truly deserved the win."

The seven time world champion has been taking a break to recharge his batteries, important for any athlete. Yesterday he headed to Monza to being practicing both today (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday) ahead of the Grand Prix of Italy. Before the race though, Schumacher will head to the Nürburgring, where the Ferrari Racing Days event will be held this coming weekend. Michael Schumacher promises the fans a spectacular Sunday: "These are the dates that I love: lots of cars and action and a huge crowd. I am sure it will be an enjoyable day and I hope we will have fun."
