From 14th on the grid, Michael Schumacher finished 6th in today's Malaysian Grand Prix. Schumacher's weekend was plagued by an engine failure, which cost him his original fourth place starting position. Michael Schumacher is now tied with Jenson Button for second in the Championship standings. This is what Michael had to say about his race at Sepang:

"We can accept this result, considering everything that has happened over the weekend. I don’t think that we could have achieved much more. On my second stint I wasn’t as quick as I was on my first and third one, so now we need to understand the reasons why.

All things said and done, the race went basically as I had expected even if one always hopes for something more. During my first pit stop I had to wait a fraction of a second before going out because another car was coming down the pit lane. This was a wise decision from the safety point of view. During the closing stages of the race I was not able to get past Felipe because I just wasn’t fast enough and he didn’t make any mistakes.This track has always been one of the most difficult for us. Melbourne is a completely different circuit and I hope that it will be better suited to our 248 F1. Now I’m going to take a few days off with my wife Corinna before travelling on to Australia"
