Despite the fact that he has had a relatively poor start to the 2010 Formula One season, seven time world champion Michael Schumacher is still just as determined to succeed as he ever has been according to his Mercedes team boss, Ross brawn.

Speaking to British publication, the Sun, Brawn explained that Michael won’t be letting the current situation knock him down, in fact it will work just the opposite because he is his own worst critic...

"Michael is determined to succeed. He was always his own best and worst critic. He is incredibly dedicated and competitive but also very structured. He is not the sort of guy who will panic when things aren't going well. He will analyse what is happening and reflecting on that and, for sure, the race in Shanghai was disappointing.”

“But we are already getting to understand the reasons for that and are learning lessons from that. We have to make sure that in Barcelona for the next race we get it right and perform better. His experience is very useful and that was part of the thinking when he joined the team. The biggest challenge is for everyone to treat him normally as he is such an icon."
