Schumacher impatient to be back on track

TEAMCAR - The three week summer break is drawing to a close and this coming weekend's Turkish Grand Prix will see the championship battle rejoined at the Istanbul circuit. Ferrari and Renault had a poor time in Hungary, with title rivals Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso both retiring, although Schumacher was later promoted to one point when BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica was disqualified.

With five races left this season the title fight could go either way and Schumacher is eager to be back on track. "We have had a few days off and, naturally, I had a pleasant time," said the German.

"However, I could have done without it as it would have been better to go straight into the Grand Prix of Turkey after Hungary. The title challenge is so exciting that I cannot wait for the next race. The Istanbul weekend is finally about to get underway."

There's 10 points between Alonso and Schumacher and only seven between Renault and Ferrari so both championships could go either way. Schumacher is positive but not about to be over confident as some races this year have been very unpredictable.
