Schu seeks home boost in title race

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER is hopeful of a home boost to his title hopes in Sunday’s German Grand Prix but expects a fierce battle at Hockenheim.

The German knows this weekend’s race will be different to last year’s which turned into a victory jig after he had wrapped up a record-equalling fifth drivers’ crown the week before.

Schumacher celebrated with only his second victory in his home race, and first for Ferrari in six attempts.
