M
Schumacher (FERRARI), 2003 CHAMPION: I love to race
"... The next season is always your toughest, but I am as
motivated as ever, for the simple reason that I love to race .."
-
Frank
Williams (Williams BMW): ".... Our ambition can be nothing
other than winning every race, steal Ferrari's crown
and add another Championship title to the record. Having any less
ambition at the start of the year would be wrong .."
-
J
Todt (FERRARI): We have a strong squad, a winning one
".... It’s like starting from zero all over again,
as if we have forgotten the five consecutive Constructors’
titles we have won since 1999 - a record in automobile history
- and the four consecutive Drivers’ championships collected
since 2000 by Michael Schumacher, allowing him to become the most
successful driver in F1 history. This says everything about our
motivation ... This year we will have eighteen Grands Prix including
the two new ones and the return of Spa. The competition will be
tough because they can’t put up with Ferrari always being
ahead of the pack any longer. We have a strong squad, a winning
one .."

P
Faure (RENAULT): "... The podium must be our objective at
every race
....I don't think we will be fighting for the title in 2004 but
I definitely think that we can finish the season in the top three
... We must consolidate our occasional race-winning speed into
a consistent, season-long challenge for victories ....We have
the drivers, the people and the resources in place to do so ..."

Tony
Purnell (JAGUAR):
".. We aim to compete with the likes of Toyota, Sauber and
BAR ... I don't think we're ready to go for the front guys ..
I would like to think we might put a little bit of pressure on
them as the season progresses .."
-
R
Barrichello (FERRARI): I now feel much more like a winner
"....I
can be optimistic about this coming year. Of course it will be
tough, but I would like to start this year the way I finished
the last one. I think I have always been a challenge for Michael
and this year, the championship should be wide open and I will
give it my best shot. As a driver you must always believe you
can do it. After 2003, I now feel much more like a winner ! ...."
