Ferrari clinched it's sixth consecutive World Constructors' title at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday. Michael Schumacher was very happy, praising the performance of the Ferrari F2004, which carried him to a record twelfth win in a season, career win 82 and fourth win at this circuit. "The (constructors') title means more than winning twelve races in a season and the fact that this is the sixth in a row means more than the fact it is the 14th for the team. The way we achieved it is outstanding; we were so dominent, so perfect. To win in style here compared to last year shows why we have won the title so early. The whole team is great and deserves this result."

 

Schumacher set off from pole and led throughout the race recording the fastest lap time. Barrichello closely followed him, making it Ferrari's seventh one-two of the season. Rubens said "this (constructors') title is a phenomenal achievement and I feel fantastic about being part of it. Together with Michael, we have put each other under pressure on the track to drive each other forward and the team always responds to this."

 

Ross Brawn commented: "It has been a fantsastic year for us so far. Taking the title with a nice one-two, having suffered so much on this track last year makes me very proud of our guys, who are able to help one another by sticking to the same aims and objectives. Our strength comes from the stability of our group and from the support of our partners." James Robinson, Jordan Head of Race and Test Engineering added "Bridgestone have done a fantastic job. Congratulations to them, Ferrari and Michael on the constructors' championship in a brilliant display of excellence."

 

The only question now remaining is who will win the drivers title? Michael commented "It is true that I could win the championship at Spa or if not at Monza. Both have special significance for me, but I will try and win where I can, because mathematically Rubens still has a chance."Rubens responded saying "I know Michael has a very big lead, but as long as there is a mathematical possibility I will keep pushing."

 

Eddie Jordan noted that "people on the street might be inclined to say it's boring that Michael and Ferrari keep winning - what we have to recognise is that he is a great sportsman, the greatest driver of our time, if not ever, and he is so good he is making everyone else look stupid.  If you took Michael away there are 10 absolutely cracking drivers who would get on and have a great race.  It's not Michael's fault and Ferrari aren't going to drop the ball, they are going to go on getting better.  So we had better just sit down and pray that Michael retires sooner rather than later!"
