Michael Schumacher is looking forward to driving the new Ferrari in this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

The German is confident the F2003-GA will prove reliable after the team delayed its introduction because of problems during testing.

"I'm looking forward to the new car," said Schumacher. "We know that it is faster than the old car and when you're a driver, you never can get enough speed."

The 2003 car is expected to be an improvement on last year's model in which Schumacher triumphed in Italy nine days ago.
