"I have good memories of last year's Chinese Grand Prix, when I took my second podium for Toyota," said Ralf Schumacher looking ahead of next week's Chinese Grand Prix. "That was the result of great strategy work and it was a great way to cap off my first year with the team."
"I still haven't seen much of the city of Shanghai but I do remember that the traffic is crazy! The Shanghai International Circuit is an impressive facility, with a combination of technically challenging corners without being too high speed. It was well designed and it has some features that are unique, especially the long corners. Turn 1 is so long that you almost complete an entire circle so you need to be committed to stay on the limit all the way round without making a mistake. The whole circuit is very wide so there are chances to overtake, particularly at the end of the long straight into turn 14. That makes the track a fun place to race and I look forward to trying to bring home another good result this Sunday."
