Barcelona (Spain), May 10: Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is hopeful the Spanish Grand Prix may yield his first top-three finish in his third season since coming out of retirement.
Schumacher has a pair of 10th-place finishes to go with two DNFs this season, while Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg won in China.
The German driver has yet to grace the podium since ending three years outside the series, but Schumacher expects a turnaround soon, hopefully at the Catalunya Circuit.
Schumacher says: "The reality is that we have a car that can be on the podium and can win races so the sooner the better."
After four races, two-time defending F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, who won here last season, has 53 points to Schumacher's two.
