Michael Schumacher has just faced the worst start to the Formula One racing season in Bahrain.

The new Ferrari, which was rushed into service, developed mechanical problems and Schumacher had to retire from the race.  He said that the debris on the track caused the problem, not the car itself. It was still the right decision to use the car and no-one was to blame. Things like this can happen, he stated.

Winner Alonso was struggling until Schumacher developed mechanical problems on the 11th lap.
