Michael Schumacher took a cautious view of Ferrari's chances for the 1997 Grand Prix season at the launch of their new F310B car in Maranello. The German said he hoped to be able to compete with Williams but stopped short of predicting title success. "I think this year we are looking for reliability... the real championship for us should come in 1998," he said. Schumacher and teammate Eddie Irvine will begin eight weeks of testing in the new car on Wednesday.
