Ferrari fire warning to Schumacher

FERRARI team principal Stefano Domenicali has fired a warning shot across the bows of Michael Schumacher by insisting Fernando Alonso is ready to defeat him again.

After 14 seasons with Ferrari, the last three as an advisor after retiring from Formula One at the end of 2006, Schumacher is back on the main stage this year, albeit with Mercedes.

It means the renewal of a classic rivalry between the 41-year-old German and Alonso, now with Ferrari after the Spaniard replaced Kimi Raikkonen.
