Lewis Hamilton said he did not think Michael Schumacher would be more competitive in 2011 than he had been last season.
Speaking at the launch of the new McLaren MP4-26 in Berlin, Hamilton faced the inevitable questions about Schumacher and after initially flat-batting by telling reporters he would not say what he thought, he proceeded to do just that.
"He's a seven-times world champion so you have to assume he will be at his best this year if he wants to be, and if his car and his team have done a good job. Personally I don't think it's going to be much different to the previous season but he can easily prove us wrong."
But team-mate Jenson Button did not agree. "I think when Michael gets the car around him that he feels he has been a part of, he will be competitive," he said. "With Ross [Brawn] at the helm they'll produce a competitive car and give Nico and Michael a chance to have good results. They're definitely a team that will be fighting for victories this year."
