Schumacher “very disappointed” with his season

At mid-season, the objectives displayed by Mercedes GP at the start of the year seem too optimistic. While the Silver Arrows were aiming for the front, they still found themselves fighting at their level from last year. Since his return to F1, Michael Schumacher never got on the podium.

The German, who will compete in his national Grand Prix this weekend, does not hide his disappointment. " I am very disappointed ", he blurted out. “We expected something different. We were very motivated going to Australia (first GP of the season) after our winter tests. It didn't work as we hoped. »

Michael Schumacher still wants to remain optimistic for the second part of the season, even if he knows that the performance of the MGP W02s will necessarily limit the results. “We are not yet able to win races. We are improving, even if the results don't show it. I remain very optimistic for the future given the organization. We must progress step by step and that is what we are doing. »
