Schumacher happy to be “over the period of bad luck” after first F2 win

The son of legend Michael Schumacher has endured a difficult debut in F2 after three retirements and six races finishing outside of the top 10.
 
But the German looks to have turned his season around at the right time before the summer break.
 
Schumacher said of his win in the post-race press conference: “Great! I think that's a pretty summed up view of it.
 
“I'm just happy to finally be over the period of bad luck and it's good to, obviously, score a decent amount of points.
 
“As you say it was not easy. I was always trying to keep him [Nobuharu Matsushita] a bit behind, especially in the last sector.
 
“Going into Turn 1 is the easiest, and let's say most probable, overtaking opportunity for Nobu, so I tried to have a good exit out of the last corner every time which worked pretty well.
 
“He then got quite a bit closer into Turn 1 when he had the DRS, but in general I was trying to take care of my tyres, especially when these two were fighting.
 
“I tried to push to get away and stay out of the DRS but then also tried to look after the tyres so that if Nobu came back, which was a matter of time, I still had some tyres left.
 
“They were pretty on the edge to be honest in the last laps.”
 
Schumacher says he is looking forward to the return at Spa, a track he feels “comfortable” at, hoping his result from Hungary provides a boost in performance.
 
“Yeah. Obviously the next race we're going to is Spa, so it's a very good track for myself where I feel very comfortable,” he added.
 
“Hopefully that result today will give me kind of a boost going into the summer break, and also going into the next race. I'm really looking forward to that.”
