Schumacher Testing Cataluyna 25 February

Haven't found times yet but from the photos, it looks like Vettel either had an engine go south or he had massive spray from a wet track. Kimi looks worried and MS looks confident. Here's a link to the photos:http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/gallery.php?catID=3098&startat=10

GO MS.

Looks like Nick's day in the BMW ended early.

Wet conditions.
Freakin Piquet crashed in the pits going back to his garage for the lunch break... He broke the (maybe new) rear suspension. His day is over I think.

 

no new nose? hmm...

 

You right with that, is that Honda in 6th and 8th place!!..

 

Not by the end of the day, I'm afraid... down at the bottom again...

Look the the VJM01! Right behind Vettel.

Nice parity between Shuey and Kimi. Same number of laps and only hundredths apart.

 

Wet track morning and afternoon.

Great times for MS considering

 

Usually the rain is an equalizer yet Alonshole didnt look too hot.

 

Honda need a magician, not Ross brawn.

Ermm not farce India anymore..Andreas!!.

May have been a FA / LH problem like at Mclaren last year had they been both been racing..
I doubt that Kimi would be a team-mate who would regularly give up position on the track, not something that happened to Lewis that much last year, so no doubt he put his stamp down at the top of the time sheets.

 

Picts from the track today of Kimi and Schumi!

The guy is amazing, hasn't tested in 2 months, hasn't raced in over a year and his times are almost dead even with Kimi.

 

Apparently they'll be testing the new nose 'privately' in Barcelona later this week.

 

+1

Although he probably keeps sharp by karting and staying fit.

 

Kimi has that deer in the headlights look

 

After a two day break, testing resumed this morning for Ferrari at the Catalunya Circuit, near Barcelona, in preparation for the start of the 2008 World Championship.

After not being able to run last week Kimi Raikkonen took to the track today at the wheel of an F2008, fitted with the latest aerodynamic updates.

Alongside him was a special test driver in the shape of Michael Schumacher. On a day when the weather was not at its best – a wet track for almost the entire morning – the day’s work centred mainly on the overall reliability of the car, as well as set-up testing.

Raikkonen recorded the second fastest time of the day with a best lap of 1:22.319s, while Schumacher was a tenth shy on 1:22.428 and third fastest.

Felipe Massa will join Raikkonen on track tomorrow.
