Even if the times are not at all representative due to varying programmes, Ralf is pretty confident: \"I had the chance to test at Silverstone for a day last week which was productive and I also recorded the fastest lap time of the day. It went well and we had no problems at all with the car.\"</font><p></p><p></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><p></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><p></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"4\"></font><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;\"><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p></span></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><p></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><p></p><p><font size=\"4\"></font></p><font size=\"4\">\"I am reasonably optimistic we can fight for points again this weekend. Also, it is my 32nd birthday on Saturday so I\'m hoping for a strong qualifying to celebrate and then some points would be a good present,\" he added.</font>
