F. Schumacher Winter Quotations

Everybody knew that Renault were very good. It was clear after the winter tests and so I wasn't surprised at all. But to be completely honest, I thought we would have been much further back.

We've had various tests obviously during the winter and things have in general improved compared to what was our position and situation last year.

If you think where we had been last year, if you see what has happened over the winter time and somebody would have told us we would finish second we would be absolutely happy about it.

All winter we knew we seemed to have a good package, but then you wait for the final confirmation. Here and now we have the final confirmation for all the hard work, and that is the best way to pay back to our guys.

There was some indication over the winter, but if you go back to the winter before 2004 there were similar indications but we managed to solve the situation, ... This year we didn't.

Its been a long time and hard work to get here. An amazing result, the whole winter we seemed to have a good package but then you wait for the final confirmation here.
