Could we get 7 from 7?

Andrew Benson from t'BBC
"Extracting an opinion from Michael Schumacher about how he will get on at a given grand prix weekend is usually like getting blood from a stone. Not this weekend - and it betrays exactly how confident the veteran German is, after setting pole in Monaco before being demoted with a five-place grid penalty. 'I am very confident on this one,' Schumacher said in his news conference on Thursday. 'If you take the comeback time from the start to now, probably this is the closest that we can be of having a good result this weekend.' Askedto rate his chances of becoming the seventh winner in F1 this season, he said: "Put it this way, I like number seven.' This, of course, being the seventh race of the season, which if Schumacher won he would be the seventh winner. And he is in car number seven."
