Schumacher Still Confident Despite Poor Performance This Season

Michael Schumacher has been having a very weird season. He has been consistently fast but has only finished two races this season. He has just two points in the drivers' championship. Despite his relatively poor performance, including at the last race in Canada, Schumacher thinks the team will do well at the European Grand Prix next weekend. 

"Our entire focus is now on the race in Valencia, and I am sure that everybody's motivation is even stronger because the weekend in Canada didn't go as well as we had hoped. Our motto in the last few days has been to roll our sleeves up and focus on the job in hand; everybody in the team has taken that approach to heart, so we can travel to Valencia in an optimistic mood," said Schumacher. 

Team boss Ross Brawn says that the team's new priority is making the W03Mercedes-Benz W03Germany, 2012 > 20127 photos

In Canada, Schumacher's DRS wing stuck open causing him to retire from the race.
