Michael Schumacher rules out Australia victory

Schumacher rules out victory

Michael Schumacher does not believe that he will be able to win tomorrow's Australian Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver will start the race in fourth position following today's qualifying session.

Despite having a lofty position on the grid, the seven-time world champion is aiming for a place on the podium at best.

"I'm not dreaming too much of winning this race. We are fourth but we have strong guys in front of us," he said.

"Hopefully we'll have a chance to jump on the podium - that's not completely unrealistic; to win from where we are, it's too early to really talk about that. We'll wait and see."

Schumacher's teammate, Nico Rosberg, will start seventh on the grid.
