Schumi talking about Spa-Francorchamps

Reigning World Champion Michael Schumacher is certain to lose his championship title this year after a long period of ruling. Nevertheless, the German is looking forward to his next visit at the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps.

Michael Schumacher "I always have special feelings when Spa comes around, and I'd also like to look forward that much to the race this time. But I have to admit that our performance at this time is slightly diminishing my pleasant anticipation - it's quite clear that you want to push your limits at this track and don't want to have to compromise. But after our recent disappointing performances - in Turkey, and unfortunately also last weekend at Monza - I do not have the impression that we will do all that well there, even though we will of course try our best.
But nevertheless: Spa is always special for me, there's no denying it and I don't want to deny it. I love this circuit, it's exactly what I like, technically challenging, a real task, and also the landscape is beautiful. And also it's not far from my home-town of Kerpen, so we have always had many fans come out and support us. That's what we're hoping for this time as well, and we're looking forward to a hopefully nice weekend. We will fight, our fans and opponents can count on that."
