Not even at the press conference the technology currently makes what Michael Schumacher will. On the podium before the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend in Budapest, the world champion several times unsuccessfully pressed the button labeled, to be heard. But only as a Mercedes sports chief Norbert Haug intervened game was Schumacher’s lead free.

“If Norbert touches, works for you too,” Schumacher said, adding with a grin: “Maybe he should touch it my car, it would also work again.” His humor is not the seven-time world champion has lost also. In the 41-year-old experienced so far the most frustrating phase of his already so disappointing first year after the sensational comeback.
Of all the home race at Hockenheim on Sunday he had been lapped. Actually, a humiliation, especially since the Kerpener then even the “best result” spoke. The young team-mate Nico Rosberg drives more successful than he. And the race in Budapest for Schumacher can not be more than one test run under competition conditions.

“In that situation there is only one directive: to work more hard,” says Schumacher and assured: “We did not get nervous. We just have to attempt to understand the car better. We must remain calm, view all the details exactly and everything closely . Analyze Why Schumacher, at least outwardly so calm remains is obvious. This season he has accepted as a learning year. The title of 2010 he had checked weeks ago, but the 2011 quite briskly re-issued as a target.
Results, times and points this season are now secondary. That Schumacher forages possessed as of old values and data. Even now he is working on the project “World Cup title in 2011,” it comes to knowledge for the construction of the new car. A strategy to his team chief Ross Brawn as early as 2009, the year before to the end at the World Cup crown struggling competitors by surprise.

For the Formula 1 scene Schumacher is either way a gain. The TV ratings rise, ‘RTL recorded’ on average over a million viewers more than last year. And the ticket to many places. In Budapest, currently at almost ten percent compared to 2009. “We have to thank to Michael Schumacher,” said Vice President Tamas Frank Hungaroring.

The audience favorite in honor they even have an audience rank in “Michael Schumacher stands renamed. “A great idea,” says Schumacher. He has visited “his” stand still, “but I will pass this weekend so more times.”

Although we will not successes, Mercedes continues to focus on the current cars and does not focus exclusively or even to 2011. The team led by Ross Brawn had in 2008 decided early on to go back to the weak development of the Honda, and to focus on the upcoming season. With success, for there were both won World Cup titles. But unlike today, the rules were then already in place. Currently, there are officially in the coming year still no tire manufacturer and is about the return of the KERS energy recovery system and an adjustable rear wing still spoken.

In addition, says an old Formula 1 Wisdom: If you do not understand the problems on the current cars, it does not help to incorporate these difficulties in the coming model. Therefore, the Mercedes team is working feverishly to close the gap to McLaren and Red Bull. “I think every team is already thinking about the car for 2011, but we want to achieve with the current model, some important improvements,” Brawn says to ‘Autosport’.
“In the second half of the season, we must then consider our position. We hold nothing back on the engine. A little bit of focus but we have to next year,” the team boss. The riders start in 2011 but already think. Michael Schumacher said after Montreal that his title chances this season would be virtually over, and his focus shifts to the coming year.

The Formula 1 2010 season includes 19 races and only two have been completed, but already has Sebastian Vettel to reason to be disappointed. In the first two Grands Prix of the Red Bull Racing driver was dominant on the way to win both races and would be 50 championship points can have on the account – would not have made him both times the technique a spanner in the works.

Thus the German ranks with twelve points on the seventh instead of a clear edge on the competition from Fernando Alonso (37 points), Felipe Massa (33), Jenson Button (31) and Lewis Hamilton (23) have. The “Project World Cup title had” the 22-year-old differently.

“In the first moment you’re incredibly angry,” the driver from Heppenheim in an interview with ‘World Online’, which reveals that he his team to radio in the first moment of his displeasure quite clearly expresses: “You cry mostly out loud ‘shit ‘”.

There was currently “no reason to panic” and of course he would already show in the next race, he can also take the victory to the finish: “The first moment is a failure always frustrating, but the next day, everything looks different again from .

“We have no big problem that could plague a team half a season,” Vettel reassured his fans. “Only the problems we got, we’ve never had, and they came quite unexpectedly, that you can not prepare you.”

could expect in the coming race Sebastian Vettel one of ups and downs at the moment we make no clear favorites – including Red Bull Racing is not a clear favorite to win at the next race. If anything, he would call the Ferrari at the moment the strongest team.
