Berlin, July 03: Ralf Schumacher, winner of last weekends European Grand Prix, has said that BMW-Williams is "capable of winning the World Championship but we are still pretty far away". "Fifteen points is a lot and a lot can still happen. There are seven races left," Ralf Schumacher told journalists in Berlin on Wednesday (July 2). "We will have to wait and see. Maybe it will happen. We'll look at the next two races and if we get even closer (to winning) I might start thinking about it some more". The younger brother of five-times champion Michael Schumacher conceded that his team had a difficult start into the season. "We had an extremly difficult start and it looked very different from the final outcome. The team made an incredible step forward, especially during the last four races".


"I can not think of an example in Formula-1 where a team made a step like us and started in February to end up where we stand today", Schumacher said.


Several hundred fans later watched their idol unveil a new car at a BMW dealership in eastern Berlin and a few lucky ones even got an autograph from Schumacher.
