Schumacher sends out timely warning

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER insists Ferrari are down but not out, heading into the weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion is smarting after being knocked off the top of the title standings for the first time in well over a year, following his accident in Australia two weeks ago.

But he issued a reminder of his speed by setting the fastest time for a race driver in first practice at Sepang yesterday and vowed to show Ferrari's true mettle in the race.
