[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 49343, member: 15"] World Champion Michael Schumacher cannot wait to lock horns with his Formula One rivals again and discover if Ferrari are still the team to beat. The 36-year-old starts the new season on the back of five consecutive world titles but despite his remarkable run of success, he refuses to take anything for granted. Schumacher said: "Finally we are getting started, at last all the speculation will come to an end." "Each year is the same - everyone has an opinion after the winter testing but no-one knows exactly how things will turn out." "In Melbourne we will see how things really stand and we will not be able to evaluate the work we have done before then." "I can't wait to find that out and I am looking forward to getting on to the track and race against the other guys." Ferrari are the only top team starting 2005 with a modified version of last season's car and Schumacher admits the decision is a gamble. But the seven-time World Champion feels his team's critics may be in for a surprise when the season starts in Australia this weekend, claiming: "I would not be too surprised if we do well right from the start." On using a version of last year's car, he added: "For sure, this could be a disadvantage in the first few races but we believe that it is the best thing to do, otherwise we would not have decided to do it." "We are certain that taking more time to develop the car is the right approach. This season will be longer than ever and we take this into account when considering a challenge for the title." "We will have a good car for four races and, in the subsequent 15, a superb car." "If we had not taken this decision we would have to make constant modifications during the season. I think that many others would want to have our prospects." [/QUOTE]
