More competition now than before for Schumacher - Lauda
Michael Schumacher will have more top level competitors when he returns for 2010 than when he retired in 2006 says Niki Lauda. The triple world champion Austrian doesn't doubt Schumacher will be competitive enough to win the title, but he isn't betting money as there are too many strong drivers going against the Mercedes driver.
Lauda told German newspaper 'Bild', "Everything depends on the car, and at the end of last season Vettel had the best one. What is for sure is that there are many more strong drivers in the field now than in Schumacher's last years.
"There's no question he can keep up. But I'm betting no money."
