Schumacher slams Indy track

Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher would prefer the U.S. Grand Prix be run somewhere other than Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

"I personally don't like this track," Schumacher said Wednesday after a golf outing at Brickyard Crossing, ". . . because I think Formula One does not belong to an oval or kind of oval. That's not our style of racing."

Schumacher, 31, has yet to score a point in six Indianapolis starts. He has wrecked twice, including a 2005 practice crash that kept him out of the USGP.

Asked what he could do to change his mind-set about this track, Schumacher quipped, "Well, if you find another place in the U.S. to host the grand prix, I guess.

"Formula One needs to be in the U.S. and hopefully we can have a second race in a different spot. It's a shame really with the American people, obviously with the racing they have over here, we find it difficult to entertain them in the way we're used to, but I think Formula One is something special and I hope that soon across the country (fans) will find that out."
