Schumi sees four-way fight

Michael Schumacher expects the 2006 season to be a four-way fight between Ferrari, Renault, Honda and McLaren. It will be Schumacher's fifteenth season in Formula 1 and he has won the championship in seven of those years. 

"Renault appears to be in the best form, followed by the other teams: Honda, Mercedes and Ferrari," Schumacher said. "I think it will be a tough season. The teams seem to be very close to each other in performance terms and so it will be a tight battle. For the sport and the supporters this is fantastic. We are all looking forward to the season. Finally, it has come around again."
