Schumacher ready for ‘fantastic battle’

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER feels it is beyond belief he has a chance of winning his eighth Formula One world title.

Schumacher’s victory in Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai means he is within sight of ending his remarkable career as the sport’s king.

Although level on points with Renault’s Fernando Alonso, the 37-year-old German has the edge because he has one more race win to his credit this season, seven to the Spaniard’s six.
