Britain: Ralf Happy, but Hoped for More

After a hard race for Ralf Schumacher he's happy to take a point away - not forgetting that the point is one more than higher placed Jarno took away from the weekend. Silverstone is his 6th points finish in what's been a hard year settling in at Toyota.

"After a tough race like that I have to be happy with a point today, although I wish it could have been more.

" I made a tyre choice which I hoped would have worked to my advantage, but it meant that I was struggling for grip and sliding around. That made it hard to keep the car on the road and to maintain consistent lap times.

" I also lost a position at the start, so that is why I am especially happy with my result, bringing home one point.

"Still, it's obvious that we have a lot of work to do and I hope we have a better performance at Hockenheim in a fortnight's time."
