Schumacher relies on experience

Michael Schumacher isn't worried about the final two races. The Ferrari driver, currently leading the drivers championship over Renault driver Alonso, is relaxed in Suzuka and said the current situation is nothing new.

Speaking to the press on Thursday Schumacher said: "I have been in this situation for many many years so I know pretty much how to handle it," he laughed. "This is not the first time and I have been around for sixteen years! Let's hope it works out. This track is one of my favourites, even if unfortunately we did not get to race at my number one favourite in Spa this year."

Looking ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix weekend Schumacher furthermore said: "I think the weather is due to improve, but even in the wet, we have taken steps to improve our situation, although it would probably be better and easier if we don't have the conditions that require us to show that we have made this improvement. It would be better to have a dry race for us, but we will take it as it comes. We come here with a lot of motivation and a very good feeling because we believe this track might be even better for us than China was."
