Michael Schumacher has admitted his frustration with his Mercedes WO1 car, confirming that it is not "in harmony" with its tyres.

Jenson Button was not the only Formula 1 driver to compete in a triathlon this month. Mercedes Grand Prix driver Nico Rosberg completed the full Olympic distance of the world championship round in Kitzbuhel, which is a town in Austria.
