Forget it bruv - Ralf - 11th May 18:22pm GMT

Ralf Schumacher has told brother Michael to forget about winning an eighth Formula One championship this season.

"You have to be realistic. Ferrari are too far from the top. Michael is 34 points behind Alonso. That's a huge amount, especially because Renault are continuing to win. Ferrari can forget about this world championship," German newspaper Bild quoted Ralf as saying on Wednesday.

"As much as I would delight in an eighth family title -- it will no longer be," he added.

Spaniard Fernando Alonso, Renault's championship leader after five of 19 races, has an 18 point lead in the championship over Ralf's Toyota team mate Jarno Trulli.

Ferrari have 18 points to Renault's 58.
