Schumacher Remains Cautious about Williams' Chances
Tuesday February 29th, 2000
Attending the annual
Hannover Fair on behalf of sponsor Compaq, Ralf Schumacher remained
level-headed about the task ahead
of the Williams team, in the upcoming 2000 F1 season. "I am optimistic
about the forthcoming season,
but also realistic,"
Schumacher said. "With a new engine and new package, you will
always have problems. You just have to be aware of these
problems in order to fix them as soon as possible." |

Having
had to deal with torrential rain
in
Kyalami, South Africa and
experiencing engine difficulties in Jerez, Spain,the BMW.WilliamsF1 Team
have had less than an ideal start to the year.
But, despite the
setbacks, Ralf Schumacher highlighted several aspects
of the WilliamsF1 BMW FW22 that give cause for optimism.
"The designers have found
a good solution with the aerodynamics and mechanics to give the grip
required. I am really
happy with the car as it is, but we will have to wait until
Melbourne to see
how it handles under
race conditions," he said.
And, as to whether
or not he would be able to give the team a debut
victory in 2000, Ralf
Schumacher was diplomatic
in his reply.
"Obviously I would
like to win anywhere this season, but at this point in time
it is unrealistic to reach for such heights. I hope that we have a similar
season to last year."
