Normally seen as one of the people on the grid wh๊o will always look for the positives from a race, world champion Michael Schumacher wasn't pulling any punches after a disappointing British Grand Prix for Ferrari.

Neither Sch✨umacher or Rubens Barrichello was on the pace at Silverstone, with the two Ferraris over a minute off the p♒ace in sixth and seventh place - something Schumacher admitted wasn't good enough.

"Of course, I cannot be happy to have finished sixth, especially looking at my lap times in ⛄the race," he said. "Clearly, we⛦ are simply not fast enough at the moment. If I had not been delayed by Trulli, I might have been able to fight with Button, but I am not keen on using the word 'if' as an excuse.

"If you compare our performance from the two North American races to th🐻ese last two, we appear to be going backwards instead of forwards. We are not up to the level of our competitors. I am still looking forward to my home race in Hockenheim, but I wish I could promise the fans there a bit more than this."

Barrichello adopted a three stop strategy compare to the two stop strate🐷gy used by Schumacher but it failed to help the Brazilian, who felt he wasn't helped by being held up by the BAR of Jenson Button.

"This was quite a difficult race," he said. "Basically, we did not have the pace which we thought we might have. I made a good start and I knew I had to pass Trulli at this po♎int if my race was going to go to plan. It was all going pretty smoothly apart from the fact I was held up by Button which cost me time. This meant that the three stop strategy I had adopted did not work out the way it should have done.

I ❀had some brake problems, as at Magny-Cours, but seeing how⛦ the race evolved, I don't think I could have done much better."

Like Schumacher, team boss Jean Todt wasn't pulling any punches after the rac❀e - admitting that the reಌliability shown by getting both cars to the finish was the only satisfying part of the afternoon.

"I said yesterday that we could expect a difficult race and that getting both our cars home in the points was our only realistic target," he said. "Unfort🥂unately, that is how things turned out. We are not capable of matching the pace of the leaders and the final result is a reasonably accurate reflection of the current pecking order here at Silversto🎀ne today.

"The only satisfying p🃏oint to take away from here is the l🎃evel of reliability we demonstrated this afternoon."
