Sometimes the reactions that one has at difficult times say
more about human nature than those experienced when things
are going well. On Sunday at Suzuka, Michael Schumacher
lived out a disappointing episode but, nonetheless, the seven
time world champion showed his mettle in fully supporting his
team.
Even after his Ferrari's engine gave out, an incident that reduces his
F1 title chances, Michael only had words of praise for the
'boys', as he likes to call his squad. "Defeats like this
are part of Formula 1 as in life", declared a calm Michael
after the race. "It is no-one's fault". Michael had the same
attitude late in the evening: "We have all worked incredibly
hard over the past months. We managed to turn around a
championship that seemed hopeless, especially in the light
of the poor 2005 season.
So, only a superficial view would be to be one of
disappointment. We should be proud of the result even if
there will be no happy ending. Our attitude and the quality
of our work have been decisive and we have nothing to be
unhappy about. One cannot always win and things do not
always goes as planned. Consequently, we have to accept the
Suzuka result in a positive way". The German has showed
what the title means to him on the track. This is the reason
why he would not like to win it following an accident
involving his adversary.

"I think we deserve this title as we are the best
team", says Michael Schumacher. "We are unbeatable
in terms of our teamwork. Now we want to take the
next step and becoming champions. |

"It is not the way I would like to win the title. I want it
to come as a result of my efforts. Also, it is unrealistic
hoping to make up ten points." These opinions count for the Drivers'
title but not the Constructors': "In that series we have a
nine point gap but we still have a chance, however small.
Now we will be concentrating mainly on this championship".
Michael will this fly to Jerez on Tuesday evening for a test
session. On Wednesday and Thursday he will be working on the
set up for Brazil. Michael wants to make himself available
for the team. "I think we deserve this title as we are the
best team", concluded Michael. "We are unbeatable in terms
of our teamwork. Now we want to take the next step and
becoming champions.
There is one test session and one race left before the end
of the season and this is what we will be concentrating our
efforts on. Despite the gap, I want to go all out in Brazil
and win another title".
