Michael Schumacher faced a difficult weekend in Valencia last weekend. The former Formula 1 champion qualified himself in 15th and finished the race in 15th. Not the result you'd expect from the Mercedes driver. Schumacher is unable to predict his team's pace at the upcoming British Grand Prix and realises their qualifying pace is not very promising yet.
Speaking about the upcoming British Grand Prix Michael Schumacher said: “Silverstone represents a special race for us as it is so close to everyone at our factories in Brackley and Brixworth who are all working like hell to make up the quite difficult start into the season that we have experienced. We would like to give them and all of our supporters a good performance this coming weekend, even if we seem to struggle a bit at the moment.
“We have to face the fact that we were less competitive in Valencia than we had hoped for which makes it difficult to predict how we can perform at the British Grand Prix. Our race pace has been quite promising but our qualifying speed is not yet ideal and we still do not understand the full picture about the tyres. This clearly is something that we will keep working on intensively.
“I have a lot of different and mostly nice memories of Silverstone and therefore I am obviously very much looking forward to travelling there. We will certainly try to do our best there.”
