Schumacher overcomes criticism with podium finish

Michael Schumacher has marked his first podium finish since his return to Formula 1, by finishing third in the European Grand Prix last weekend. According to him, this was a great answer to all the critics that had their complaints about the driver and his Mercedes team.

Schumacher: “The point is that it is a beautiful feeling; not only being on the podium, but the way it has happened. It was not at all expected. All weekend I predicted this to be a difficult one for us and it started to be difficult in qualifying; mainly because of my own mistakes and to recover from where we are getting to third position is just awesome.”

“The team and I have been criticized here and there, particularly lately and this is the best way to answer criticism; to go back and deliver as we did. Therefore I am proud, thankful and very excited.”

Schumacher’s last podium visit was back in 2006 and in a minor error it was shown the seven-time World Champion had not been on the podium for a long time; when assembling to go on the podium after the European race, the Mercedes driver seemed to have lost his way; asking his fellow drivers where to go. Hopefully he will be able to get familiar with the top spots again this season!
