Schumacher tells Mercedes to stay calm

Michael Schumacher has urged his Mercedes GP team to remain 'calm' about its inconsistent form as he hopes for a step forward to perform in Hungary in this weekend.

The seven-time world champion has endured an unspectacular return to the Formula 1 this season - with the team failing to find the form it needed to be battling for the title glory.

However, Schumacher remains focused on driving the Mercedes GP forward and reckons upgrades planned for the Hungaroring can be a big help.

"The German Grand Prix last weekend was clearly disappointing for us but we have seen a variety of the performances from our team over the past few races," he said.

"With this in mind, I will still go to Hungary with a positive feeling. It is clear that we need to understand our car better, and the track in the Budapest plus more time to evaluate our upgrades should help us in that respect.

"As I said after the last race, we have to remain calm, look into all the details and analyse our performance in order to learn as much as a possible from such weekends. That is the way we have to go in order to improve our situation which may already be possible this coming weekend in Hungary."

Team principal Ross Brawn has admitted that the team's car is still not been quick enough - but he remains positive for the future.

"The last race weekend in Germany was challenging for us, particularly following the podium finish at the Silverstone, and we were disappointed not to be competing further up the field," he explained.

"The team is doing a good job operationally but we need to find them more pace from the car and we continue to work very hard to achieve this.

"Hungary is a technically demanding circuit and should be a good proving ground for our latest upgrades, providing with a further invaluable track testing time, as we work to find the optimum set-up.

"Our two-week factory shutdown just after the race will be a well-deserved rest for our employees and the chance to recharge with their batteries before the busy final third of the season."

Lorenzo wins US Grand Prix

Jorge Lorenzo took a commanding victory in the United States Grand Prix after Dani Pedrosa crashed out of the lead at the one-third distance at Laguna Seca.

The Yamaha rider's sixth win of the season helped him to increase his world championship lead to 72 points over his fellow the Spaniard Pedrosa.

Pedrosa, who started in fourth, seized the lead into the Andretti hairpin on the first lap after making another of his now customary rocket starts, and held an early advantage of over a second over the Casey Stoner and Lorenzo.

However, he lost the front end of his Honda entering the uphill Turn Five on the 11th lap and slid off into the gravel trap, his machine somersaulting several times before hitting in the tyre barrier.

That left Lorenzo, who had passed through Stoner's Ducati on lap five, with a lead of almost three seconds. He was able to control his pace for the rest of the race and took the chequered flag a similar margin ahead of the Australian, who scored his best result of the 2010.

Yamaha's Valentino Rossi took the final podium spot on what was his second race back after injury. The seven-times world champion passed Andrea Dovizioso's Honda at the final corner with the seven laps left and, after running side-by-side with his rival along the start/finish straight, swept around him before the Andretti Hairpin.

Alonso unmoved by criticism

Fernando Alonso remained unmoved by criticism of the Ferrari team after facing a barrage of the questions during the post-race press conference in the Germany.

The press conference, was understandably dominated by the questions about Ferrari's actions during the race, to such an extent that the third placed finisher Sebastian Vettel asked if he could get up and leave.

Focusing fully on what he termed the best result for the team, Alonso refused to admit that the team orders had played any part in the result and insisted that he and Felipe Massa had worked together to do the job needed by the Ferrari.

“I think we tried to do our race, we tried to do as good as we can,” he said. “We are professional drivers, we try to work in a team and we had try to do the best we can every day, not only here on the track but also between the races, at the factory etc, preparing the races.

“Again, I think we've been doing a good job over the last couple of the races and finally we got a strong Sunday with a strong result. I think we are happy with this, although there are things which are more for you if you want to write all these things.”

Alonso was then pressed on whether the reality of the race was that he could only win because the team forced Massa to the move over, replying with a simple 'if that's your opinion' the questioning journalist before a simple 'no' was given to the questions asking if it was his opinion and if Massa had to give him the win.

The Spaniard also denied that, if he were to go on and win the title, that it would be regarded as a tainted success and as a result of what happened.

“I have 19 races to... look at the overall races, there are been a lot of points that we win sometimes and a lot of points that we lose sometimes,” he said. “As I said, today was a good day, some other races were bad days for us, disappointing but as I said before, we need to be remain focused, keep working, keep developing the car, not to be too excited when we win, not to be too down when we lose.

“In November, (we need to) try to be in the fight for the championship, not forgetting that Red Bull has been so far very dominant, not scoring many points on Sunday, or the points that they should have scored on the Sunday, but remain very strong and McLaren as well, leading both the championships, so there is still a long way to go for us.”
