Michael Schumacher insists he is still 'motivated'

The German legend admitted after finishing 12th in Istanbul that "the big joy is not there right now". But in a Mercedes preview to the Spanish Grand Prix he said: "I was not happy with my weekend in Turkey. But there have been clear signs of improvements for the team, which push and re-boost my motivation even more."

The seven-time world champion has been out-qualified by Nico Rosberg in 15 of their 23 races as team-mates and was more than a second off the qualifying pace of his German compatriot.
