NEWS Schu laughs at BAR's 'home pitch'
DRIVERS STANDING advantage
07-09-2004

Rain lashed motor home windows at Silverstone on Thursday.

But don't bother asking world champion Michael Schumacher if he's looking forward to the first wet GP of '04. ''I think [the rain] is going,'' he said.

He smiled: ''I'm not considering a wet race.''

It has been reported the old World War II airfield in rural Northamptonshire is a 'bogey' track for Ferrari's star - after all, he's won here just two times.

And if you believe in bad luck, this is his '13th' start in the British GP.

''The race isn't on Friday,'' he joked, ''so I don't mind.''

Schumacher also dismissed Dave Richards' prediction that BAR and Jenson Button will perform better on their home 'pitch.' ''It's not football,'' said Michael.

''Our engines are rather noisy so you can't hear the crowd!

''Anyway, home support motivates some people and makes others nervous.''
