Michael Schumacher: expect a better weekend to come

Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher Tuesday urged his fans not to write off his Mercedes GP Petronas F1 team following a disastrous season-opening race in Australia. Schumacher came to grief on the third turn and battled on before retiring after 19 laps and was followed shortly afterwards by fellow German Nico Rosberg with mechanical problems after being rammed by Rubens Barrichello.
Mercedes, who finished fourth in the constructors' title last season, came away from the opening race without any points.
"There is absolutely no doubt we want to do better than in the opening race, which was a disappointment for all of us. We clearly see that as a challenge and it is much too early to write us off," he said adding that he was relishing the opportunity to compete at his favourite Sepang circuit in Malaysia this weekend.

Mercedes Benz TV

Mercedes Benz TV just released the new TV commercial they’ve made for the Mercedes GP Formula 1 team for the 2011 season. Titled ‘ Compliments’ this ad is really fantastic. Mercedes is actually sending a message to its won team with this spot, telling them not to get distracted by the sidelines or they may be surprised. It features Nico Rosberg, Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen.
