BARCELONA:
Mercedes team chief Ross Brawn has forecast that his veteran seven time champion driver Michael Schumacher will bounce back to form in this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix. After a desultory showing at the Turkish Grand Prix where he finished 12th and was involved in a collision with Renault’s Vitaly Petrov, the German talked of losing his joy, a comment that sparked speculation suggesting he was ready to retire. But in this week’s build-up to one of the key races of the season, Brawn made it clear he still had great faith in him.
