Formula One legend, Michael Schumacher has admitted he is not happy with his car which he thinks is too slow to win the first grand prix of the season in Bahrain.

The Mercedes GP superstar ended pre-season testing, over a second behind Williams rookie Nico Hulkenberg, who was the quickest.

Schumacher said: “We’re not perfectly in the position we would like to be, probably to be competing to win the first races straight away.”

The seven-time world champion believes Mercedes GP’s objective will be to compete with the top teams.

“It is very difficult to judge what the real picture is right now,” The Sun quoted Schumacher, as saying.

Hulkenberg set the pace in Barcelona with a best lap of 1min 20.614secs.

Lewis Hamilton has fueled his feud with former teammate Fernando Alonso by reminding him that he was beaten by a rookie when they drove for McLaren during the bitter 2007 campaign.

“It was my first season in Formula 1, alongside a double world champion, and I blew him away,” The Sun quoted Hamilton, as saying.

“No one has ever come into their first year and been at the front, let alone beat a world champion – beat the mentality and the strength he would have had and his experience in F1 up to that point,” he added.
