While some appear to have already written off Michel Schumacher, even claiming that he will not see out the season, the seven-time champion insists that all is going to plan.
Looking ahead to next weekend's Chinese Grand Prix, the German writes on his website: "The enthusiasm for Mercedes-Benz and the support of the fans is very big in China so we have an attractive race ahead of us in Shanghai next weekend. I am confident that the fans will not leave the race disappointed.
"We looked quite reasonable in Malaysia at the last race and maybe things will play into our hands again in Shanghai," he continues. "I am looking forward to the race and fully enjoying the competition again.
"Admittedly the last two races have not been very fortunate for me," he adds, "but I am very much aware of the reasons for it. I know how things go in F1 and if you look into the detail of the two races, I think everything is still going according to plan. You can only improve step-by-step and I am confident that we are achieving this."
