Michael Schumacher has declared that the McLaren team is looking strong ahead of the first race of the season in Bahrain.
“They (McLaren) looked very strong, no doubt,” he said.
“But then it depends on who is going to bring what to Bahrain. It’s something we’ll have to wait for to find out.
“We have some improvement (for Bahrain), but is it much or is it not compared with what the others may or may not do? It’s a puzzle that’s difficult to read.”
He also spoke of his confidence for his own team Mercedes.
“Those four testing days here in Barcelona have helped a lot, and I am now quite confident for the beginning of the season,” he said.
“Quite often, we were carrying a lot of fuel, therefore the times did not always reflect the true picture. It was positive that we worked in a lot of areas and thus gained valuable information.
“We are heading to Bahrain with a good feeling because we know we will have additional new components on our car. But most of all we know that our prospects for the first races are looking very reasonable now.”
