Tight-lipped Schu on maximum attack

As well as the title race, what makes this Italian Grand Prix more of an occasion for Ferrari is that the team will announce its driver line up for 2007 and, with it, Michael's future. Schumacher insists he will not say a word about the future until Sunday evening's announcement.

"I understand that the announcement arouses some interest", Schumacher said wryly. "We have already made known that the declaration will be made after the race as we want to focus on what is an important date. I am in full agreement with this. I can only add that I will not discuss the subject until Sunday."

The Ferrari driver is in the middle of the battle for the title. Making up a gap of 12 points with four races left will not be easy. 

"It is true, but it is not impossible", repeated Michael. "Our tactic can only be attack. We have to make up ground, put the pressure on and go for it. It is not the first time that we find ourselves in this situation and our experience should help us out. I think we still have a good chance of winning the title. Nothing has yet been decided and a lot can happen in the remaining four races. I think that we have good reason to be hopeful of our chances of taking both titles."
