Michael Schumacher says his podium finish in Valencia, the first since his return to the sport, was the "best way" to answer critics.

In what could yet be his final season in Formula One, Schumacher finally reached the podium when he claimed third in Sunday's European GP.

The seven-time World Champ made the most of a late stop and fresher rubber to slice his way through the field and take his first podium finish in 99 races.

"The point is that it is a beautiful feeling, not only being on the podium but the way it has happened. It was not at all expected," said the Mercedes driver.

"All weekend, I predicted this to be a difficult one for us and it started to be difficult in qualifying, mainly because of my own mistakes and to recover from where we are, getting to third position is just awesome.

"The team and myself have been criticised here and there, particularly lately, and this is the best way to answer criticism, to go back and deliver as we did, and therefore I'm proud, thankful and very excited."

However, as to be expected the question of Schumacher's future was raised.

'Michael, you said you will think about your future during the summer. Summer is beginning and you begin the summer with a podium. Does it change something for next year?' asked a journalist.

Schumacher, though, wasn't at all happy with the question and especially the mention of 'summer'.

"I don't think I ever said any kind of time, neither did I say summer and if you may apologise, I have no further news on that matter, so give me the time that I need and we will see," he said.

Genijalno je vidjeti staru, pravu gardu na podiju.

Michael Schumacher has been tipped to deliver more podium finishes by his Mercedes team bosses, but they insist his Valencia achievement does not change the timetable for sorting out his future.

The seven-time champion turned the corner on a frustrating run of reliability problems this season to charge through the field in the European Grand Prix and finish behind race-winner Fernando Alonso and runner-up Kimi Raikkonen.

It was the first time that Schumacher has finished on the podium since he returned to F1 at the start of 2010, and Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug reckoned that the result was vital going forward.

"It is important and more podiums will come when we give him the car he needs in terms of speed and reliability," Haug said in an exclusive interview with AUTOSPORT.

"His lack of results this season are not down to the driver, and in fairness to him he could have definitely had in excess of 60 or 70 points if we would not have had technical issues - which would have been good for him and good for us in the constructors' championship. We did not get it because we got it wrong.

"But I think we have the right to push, and if you push you are more in the risk zone than if you are slower and reliable. So in the third year we are still learning. But considering we have quite a limited budget compared to the others, all in all the job we have done and the direction is good."

Schumacher had scored just two points this season before the European GP, having seen good results in Australia, China and Monaco slip from his grasp through no fault of his own.

Yet with his growing competitiveness pointing towards him electing to sign a new contract with Mercedes, Haug says that plans to wait a while before sorting matters out are unchanged.

When asked if the podium altered the timetable for sorting out the future, Haug said: "No, not really. It is a separate story and we will talk later about it with him.

"We should not be described as being over the moon, but scoring 23 points in Valencia [with Schumacher and Nico Rosberg] is a good result."

He added: "Michael is a great sportsman, and this is even more demonstrated in his second career that he is really open, and open to critical questions. He is a really balanced guy, and a guy who everybody who could look up to because he did not criticise us, did not make any public noises, and he was genuinely pleased in Valencia.

"He could have said: 'I won 91 races, why should I be happy?' But he was genuinely pleased and it was wrong to say it was inherited. With one lap to go he was fifth, but I can tell you a lot of stories where he was fifth and things went against him. What we could see in Valencia was that the genuine speed was there."

ja bi rekao da ovaj podij nije zaslužen ALI je zaslužio podij u australiji i kini gdje zbog čiste nesreće ostao bez toga tak da ako dobije još koji podij na sreću bit je vračanje dugova s početka sezone

[Igor18]

Podij je itekako zaslužen.
Pravovremeno su shvatili da im taktika 1 stopa neće upaliti i prešli su na B varijantu.
Odlično je reagirao nakon restarta, zadnja promjena guma napravljena je također u pravo vrijeme, da je otišao krug kasnije vjerovatno nebi uspio izaći ispred Webbera.

Sreća je bila u tome kaj su se Pastor i Hamilton skršili, al bilo je i vrijeme da se nešto odigra u njegovu korist.

[alien_ri]

Svakako da je podij zasluzen, nakon toliko ne srece u ovoj godini, vrijeme je bilo da se sreca okrene na njegovu stranu.

[spacedoc]

ma mislio sam reci da je podij zaslužen već u kini i australiji a sad tek dobiven a u ovoj trci realno je bilo 4 mjesto

[FerrariF1]

Da je MSC sretan kao ALO onda bi bio sigurno 1. u ukupnom

[Chuck Norris]

Da je MSC sretan kao ALO onda bi bio sigurno 1. u ukupnom

Ne samo da bi bio prvi nego bi osigurao i teoretski naslov nakon 8 utrka

[Igor18]

Da, to je točno.. nisam te dobro skužil

Vjerujem da će mu se u nastavku sezone otvoriti i da slijedi još veselja za nas

[Cuky]

pa jedno oduzeto nesrećom mu je vraćeno, dakle do kraja sezone još minimalno jedno postolje

kako god došao do podija, imao il ne imao sreće, činjenica je da je u utrci razvalio rosberga

...grohotom se nasmijah na ovo...i iako ne mislim ovo tebi onako osobno ću sasuti (i nadam se da normalni ljudi i navijaći dotičnog će shvatiti): Eto vidiš koliko je taj tvoj Michael loš u stvari...jedan običan šmrkavac u 90% utrka briše pod s njim...to je pravi dokaz koliko je u stvari taj razvikani sedmerostruki prvak u stvari loš vozač i kako je imao samo još lošije suvozače...razbija bolide, kvari ih, radi početničke greške i sve ko fol nema sreće koliko to? dvije godine za redom...pa mu ne odgovara ovo, pa mu ne odgovara ono - običan šonjo koji je dokazao da mu nije mjesto među pravim vozačima...
...još jednom isprika svim pravim štovateljima....

nemoj se praviti objektivan kada nisi. kad se pisalo o tome kako je rosberg razvaljivao schumachera u kvalifikacijama nisi ništa pisao

jedan od ciljeva onako glupog mog posta je da se isprovocira i pokaže tko je lažno objektivan..

Scuderia : IMAS NESLUZBENU OPOMENU

[Igor18]

Michael Schumacher's future in Formula 1 will be sorted out within the next six weeks, with his Mercedes team now preparing to make a decision on what it wants to do with its drivers for next year.

The seven-time champion's contract with the Brackley-based team runs out at the end of this season, and both he and the team have been open-minded about whether they will continue or decide to call time on his career.

Speaking at the FOTA Fans' Forum at the Williams factory on Tuesday night, Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn said he expected a decision before the end of the summer break about Schumacher's future.

"We will make a decision this summer," said Brawn. "We have not talked in depth about the situation - but we know it is coming and we have to make a decision soon.

"I think it can be driven from many different ways. But this year Michael has driven the best of the three years he has been with us this time, and it has been frustrating when we should have seen better results on track but there have been problems on the car or the way we have dealt with the races.

"I think in the next six weeks or so we will have to think about what we want to do next year - and that is the primary decision. Once that decision is made we will then know if we have to start looking around or stick with the drivers we have."

In the event of Schumacher not staying with the team, Mercedes has been linked with Paul di Resta – and Force India's team principal Bob Fernley said his outfit would not stand in the way of its driver leaving if he was keen to move to a more competitive outfit.

"Vijay has said in the past that we know we are not a championship winning team at this point, and we know we have two good drivers in Nico [Hulkenberg] and Paul.

"If one was encouraged to join the top four we would have to sit down to effect a commercial arrangement. We would not get in the way of the career of a driver but there would have to be commercial agreement in place."
