Michael Schu: I could have been quicker.

Triple World Champion Michael Schumacher has sent chills down the spines of his rivals at McLaren-Mercedes by saying that he could have gone even quicker in yesterday's (Saturday's) qualifying session.

Schumacher who took his 40th career pole position said his lap - a 1min 20.447secs - might have been quicker, but for a mistake on his quick lap. "I did not hit the apex in the perfect way at Stowe corner, but luckily the corner is sort of wide and it didn't lose me too much (time)".
