From racing-live.com :

Michael Schumacher should forget about winning the 2006 championship, according to his younger brother Ralf. 30-year-old Schumacher, seven years the junior of seven-time title winner Michael, was quoted by Sport1.de as ruling out an eighth drivers' triumph for his Ferrari-clad sibling. "I do not see Ferrari's potential," the German said. "I am sure Michael will have fun this year, but you can rule out the title." Ferrari has been singled out as a potential challenger to Renault, Honda and McLaren in 2006, but reliability problems have beset the new 248 F1 racer. Ralf, too, has some insight into Ferrari's beleaguered tyre supplier, Bridgestone, after Toyota switched to the Japanese company. "So I simply do not see the potential of Ferrari."

Now this is interesting ! Is Ralf really not convinced or is he just downplaying his brother's chances ?

Or is there something about that the BS tyres are not as good as they should be (for a change)
