Ralf: F1 still popular in Germany

Ralf Schumacher believes Germany will still love Formula 1 as much as they did when his brother Michael Schumacher was racing. In 2007 there will still be seven F1 drivers from Germany.

Speaking to Eurosport Ralf Schumacher said: "It is the same in each sport. When one country has a good sportsman, a successful one, everyone is interested in him, and when he retires, his fans sometimes go with him.

"But in Formula One we now have four German drivers. People are going to watch us more if we are winning, but already Germany had some interest in Formula One even before Michael came along."
