Schumacher: Australia a highlight on the calendar
19 March 2010Michael Schumacher is looking forward to travel to Melbourne for next weekend's Australian Grand Prix. Schumacher still holds Melbourne's lap record set in 2004 with the Ferrari F2004M and managed to win the race a total of four times (2000,2001,2002,2004)
Speaking about the next Grand Prix race on the Formula 1 calendar Michael Schumacher said: "Australia has always been one of the highlights on the Formula One calendar and this has never changed for me in all my years of competing. As in previous times, I arrived on the continent quite early and have spent some nice days training, adapting and relaxing in order to be fit and rested for the race weekend.
"I have a lot of good memories from Melbourne and most of the time, we saw interesting races there. I am very happy with the outcome of the season opener in Bahrain. Sixth position was good for me, especially considering how few times I have driven an F1 car since my retirement. I am sure that Melbourne will help me to get into the rhythm even more and I am looking forward to it."
