Schumi congratulates Button and Brawn

Michael Schumacher, seven-time world champion, regrets that the world title will not be contested in Abu Dhabi, Jenson Button having secured his world crown at Interlagos. “ The fight for the world championship ends before the final round. As a fan of F1, I would have liked the decision to be made during the last Grand Prix. But I know from experience that you have a different opinion when it comes to you. Congratulations to Jenson (Button), Ross (Brawn). What they managed to do this year inspires respect in me. »

In addition to Jenson Button's driver's title, Brawn GP won the manufacturers' world title. The German driver congratulates the team Brackley for this performance, still unthinkable a few months ago. “ I totally agree with this title because, when you look at their story, you see that it is incredible. A year ago, they thought it was all over. I'm very happy for Ross, who I've known for a long time. He deserves this success. »

Michael Schumacher, if he salutes Ross Brawn with whom he worked, also has a thought for Sebastian Vettel, his compatriot, often nicknamed “Baby Schumi”. “ It's a shame for Sebastian but he still has time ahead of him. He had a fantastic season, showing that he has everything to be world champion. He must not forget that, despite his disappointment. I am convinced that we will see many good things from him in the future. »
