Над чем смеемся (часть формульная)

Toyota's Ralf Schumacher has scolded his hugely successful elder brother, Michael, for putting unfair pressure on the Ferrari team.

37-year-old Michael Schumacher told a German magazine last week that he may quit F1, or switch to another team, if the 2006 car is not up to the task of winning races.

"If you have won so much with one team," Ralf said, "you should not, before the season starts, be talking about leaving if they are not able to win."

Ralf and Michael have reportedly grown increasingly apart in recent times, most notably in their track spat after Monaco last year, and also evidenced in Ralf's split with his brother's manager Willi Weber.

Indeed, Weber specifically named Toyota as a possible '07 alternate for his seven time world champion. Ralf reckons his shrewd ex-manager is simply trying to put pressure on the scarlet camp.

But he added: "I wouldn't have a personal problem (with it), it would be nice to have a brother in the team. But I don't think it'll happen."

"Personally, I think Michael is very lucky to be with Ferrari. I can't imagine that he really wants to switch teams and start over again."
