Subject: "I am not here to win the practice Grand Prix"


Michael Schumacher was quick to dismiss the significance of him finishing fastest in friday's opening practice. Schucher, who clocked one minute 32.496 seconds, said the real thing is still to come in Melbourne. "Maybe we had less fuel on board than the others so coming first today is a meaningless prize," Schumacher said. "I'm not here to win the practice Grand Prix, so nobody should jump to any conclusion," the Ferrari man added.
