Ahead of the final races of a hectic, and very, very long, 2005 season, Michael Schumacher looks forward to this weekend's Japan Grand Prix at Suzuka.
"After the Grand Prix of Brazil we want to see if we can continue our improvement at Suzuka. There is no doubt that this is what we are looking for and this is why we are going into the last two races, in Japan and China, very charged up," said the German.
The Suzuka circuit is one of the most interesting on the calendar and Schumacher doesn't hide his liking for the Japanese track: "Present factors aside, Suzuka is a race that I always enjoy going into as the circuit is a very demanding one. Apart from Spa, Monaco and Suzuka are tracks that I, as a driver, consider the most difficult, above all from a technical point of view. I like it a lot.
"We tested again last week and we are anxious to see whether we can put into practice what we have learnt," continued the seven time World Champion. "I don't want to make any predictions. As ever, we will be giving our all.
"We have not given up all hope for the season. We would like to make the most of the last two races to build up as much experience as possible so that we are ready for next year."
