Ralf Schumacher, who moved just recently from the Jordan team to Williams Grand Prix, stated that he is not satisfied with the Mecachrome engine performance. "The performance of the Mecachrome Engines at the Suzuka Testing Sections were not satisfying," said the young Schumacher in an interview with German Sports Television (DSF). "And the 1999 season will be the continuation of the transitional phase." He went on to say that he has confidence in his new Williams Team and looks forward to the arrival of the BMW engine in 2000.
