Schumacher’s nerves ahead of new season

WORLD champion Michael Schumacher admits he is “nervous” going into the new season.

The German will line up in Melbourne on March 6 knowing the entire grid is gunning for him after he ran away with the 2004 title.

Alongside team-mate Rubens Barrichello, the seven-time champion begins another title defence, not in the new car that was unveiled at the team’s Maranello base yesterday, but in an updated version of his dominant machine from last season.
