The real similarity I see between Michael Schumacher and Fernando is their self-belief. Like Michael, Fernando has total conviction in his own abilities - he is able to see the target he has to reach and then go out and achieve it. It is almost as if these guys set a personal best every time they get in the car. I think it is characteristic of champions, that ability to perform when it counts.

Last week we had a good balance with the cars and there were no specific problems, but despite this there was a difference of 0.08 seconds on Montoya's fast lap with similar fuel quantities. We don't know why, but the results for us weren't as good.

We had a fantastic amount of success last season, but the one-two finish eluded us throughout 2005. It is the ultimate team prize, and we are delighted to have achieved it today.
