The Younger Schumacher does not believe Ferrari will be going back to Italy with another Constructors Trophy. Ralf told autosport.com "It is pretty clear the strongest are Renault and McLaren."

He continued telling autosport.com "Renault are slightly ahead of McLaren. Then comes Ferrari, although they do look strong in the long runs."

Ferrari have been testing their new car, but it is only an evolution of their 2004 car, so the 2005 car may be in a whole different league than their current F2004M.

He continued his 2005 rankings by continuing from Ferrari; "it's Williams, BAR and us.”

Ralf expects great things from the TF105, he stated that Toyota will be ahead of the 2004 runner-up team by the end of the season. "We should not be far away from them and I expect us to be relatively close to BAR."

He even said that he believes Toyota can beat former-team Williams by mid-season. "I hope to be somewhere among BAR and Williams, and if we are lucky one or two podium finishes will be great."
