Schumi hoping for 'no warnings'

Michael Schumacher believes the first test in Mercedes' 2011 challenger will give him a clear indication of how competitive the team will be next year.
The seven-time World Champion was expected to challenge for the title in his comeback season, but the MGP W01 wasn't up to scratch and he finished a disappointing ninth.
Schumacher hopes for a better 2011, but says they'll only find out how good the car is once the first test is underway.
"What we want to see is we have a feeling with the car, especially with what I know from now," he is quoted on Autosport.
"I could jump into the car and get a reasonable feeling, although the rules will change and not be 100 per cent precise, but you do get an input.
"At the [first] test this year, even though I had not driven for three years, I got a warning that was later confirmed.
"I hope we have no warnings, that we have a competitive car, one we can develop, and very importantly it will be what you see towards the end of the tests to the first race [that counts].
"That's my main focus, so when I drive it I hope I get a good read of it."
