Prix
## Michael Schumacher is adamant there is "more to come" following a
disappointing start to his Formula One comeback.

The former world champion was heavily criticised by sections of the media
after his 10th-place finish in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix.
After an accident beyond his control at the opening corner, which forced
[**Michael Schumacher** ][3]into an early pit stop for a new nose for his
[**Mercedes**][4], the 41 year-old struggled to make up lost ground.
At one point Schumacher was embarrassingly overtaken by Virgin Racing's Timo
Glock, prior to spending 30 laps behind the Toro Rosso of Jaime Alguersuari,
which even prompted a hurry-up from race engineer Andrew Shovlin over the in-
car radio.
Pertinently, Schumacher has been out-qualified and out-performed by team-mate
Nico Rosberg in the opening two grands prix in Bahrain and Melbourne.
Despite that, an optimistic Schumacher said: "I have taken a lot of positives
from the race weekend in Melbourne.

"Whilst it might not be evident at first sight, when you look into the weekend
more deeply, we did make some real improvements and have good reasons to be
satisfied, just not from the actual result obviously.
"Analysing qualifying, both Nico and I could have been two or three places
higher. With hindsight, my set-up was too conservative and too much focused on
the race.
"Those better positions would have enabled us to fight closer to the front on
Sunday.
"All of this means we are not too far away and I am quite confident there will
be more to come."
It has previously been suggested Schumacher would require at least the opening
two races to get up to speed after three years in retirement.
It means this Sunday's race in Malaysia will likely be more of a barometer as
to whether Schumacher really does still have what it takes.
"Going to Malaysia this weekend, we know we have clearly improved our pace
since Bahrain which is a good feeling," added Schumacher.
"It was a lot of fun fighting it out on the track in Melbourne, even if it was
just for one point. But I will enjoy fighting again in Sepang."
