Schumacher won't be any better in 2011 - Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton said he did not think Michael Schumacher would be more competitive in 2011 than he had been last season.
Speaking at the launch of the new McLaren MP4-26 in Berlin, Hamilton faced the inevitable questions about Schumacher and after initially flat-batting by telling reporters he would not say what he thought, he proceeded to do just that.
"He's a seven-times world champion so you have to assume he will be at his best this year if he wants to be, and if his car and his team have done a good job. Personally I don't think it's going to be much different to the previous season but he can easily prove us wrong."
But team-mate Jenson Button did not agree. "I think when Michael gets the car around him that he feels he has been a part of, he will be competitive," he said. "With Ross [Brawn] at the helm they'll produce a competitive car and give Nico and Michael a chance to have good results. They're definitely a team that will be fighting for victories this year."
