The Mercedes GP boss, Norbert Haug, believes their new car will provide Michael Schumacher with the ideal chance to make vast improvements this year.

Haug unveiled the team's new MGP WO2 Silver Arrow on Tuesday and said Schumacher must adapt again, as Formula One now is different to when he ruled the sport.

Last year Schumacher blamed technical problems for his lacklustre comeback on the F1 circuits, but is intent on moving forward and winning the championship.
