Schumacher talks up Toyota hopes

Schumacher is entering his 11th season in Formula One

Ralf Schumacher believes he is one of the top three drivers in the world and that his team Toyota will win the Formula One title before too long.

"I definitely count myself among the three strongest drivers in the world," said the 31-year-old German.

"Certainly (Fernando) Alonso and (Kimi) Raikkonen are fast but I don't have any reason to hide behind anyone.

"Toyota is the team of the future," added the German driver. "The Formula One title is only a question of time."

Schumacher, whose contract with Toyota expires at the end of this season, is entering into his 11th year in F1.

The former Williams and Jordan driver has won six Grands Prix.
