World champion Michael Schumacher has his sights on a new record for the number of wins in a season when the Hungarian Grand Prix takes place on Sunday.

After a three-week break, the Formula One championship resumes at the Hungaroring where the Ferrari ace clinched his fourth world title last year.

With a fifth world crown guaranteed, the German wants a win here that will give him a record 10th victory from just 13 races this season.

"Now I have another race ahead of me that I can really look forward to," said Schumacher. "I really have luck on my side at the moment and I'm looking forward to driving again - I still always get withdrawal symptoms when I haven't been in a racing car for a while".

As well as Schumacher having his sights on a tenth win, Ferrari can clinch the constructors title this weekend. With 141 points, they have a 65-point lead over Williams with five rounds left.

"We want to win the constructor's championship and Rubens is aiming to take second place in the world championship table to round off this successful Ferrari year," Schumacher said.

"Those are our goals. For my part I can hardly wait to get on with the rest of the season".
