Schu doesn't fear McLaren
But worries about Williams and Renault
Michael Schumacher does not fear the new McLaren MP4-19.
The German superstar believes BMW-Williams and Renault are shaping-up to pose a challenge to his crown this season but isn't sure about the racers in silver.

'I see Williams and Renault as really strong,' he told the Italian media.
'... Probably more than McLaren.'

Woking's new Mercedes-powered '19' was the first to hit the pre- season test tracks but, particularly in recent sessions, has not set many quick lap-times.

ARE THEY SANDBAGGING?
Schumacher admits that, in spite of speculation that McLaren are encountering chassis/engine-integration problems, something more sinister might be at play.

'It's hard to judge {as} no-one knows what they're really doing,' he said.
'McLaren aren't setting fast lap times, that's true, but maybe they aren't looking for it. So it's too early to talk about these things now.'

35-year-old Michael reckons BMW-Williams, for whom younger sibling Ralf Schumacher steers an innovative FW26, looks like Ferrari's strongest 2004-rival.

'Maybe they and us are going better than others,' he told Gazzetta Dello Sport, 'but everything depends on the current times that are already now set.' http://f1.racing-live.com/en/
