    Schumacher climbed back in to an F1 racing car earlier today, commencing testing the F2007 at Barcelona. Looking at the laptimes, a year away from the tracks didn´t hurt his abilities one bit.

    ...I remember a Joke around the padock back in the JAGUAR days (I heard this from a Canadian friend that worked with logistics with FedEx Canada)

    "...If there´s a car going backwards is Villeneuve, but if there´s a car spining that´s got to be Irvine..."

    no TC will make the drivers look real silly many times...even worst than Hamilton pushing the wrong button...

    With less than half of Vettel's laps. Hmm....

    It's also testing. Hmm....

    Either way it's nice to see Michael back at the top, although it's only testing.

    Is Massa or Kimi going to be running the F2007 tomorrow. That's what I want to see the comparison to.

    +1 I doubt if he would be slower than either of those two guys.

    If Ferrari is smart, they won't put their current drivers and themself in a situation like that. But I would love to see how the three of them stack up against each other.

    While Schumacher's time remain extremly impressive, I wonder how consistant his lap times are. Not saying that he is not as good as before, just wondering how they are.

    I really doubt that Michael will be returning to drive for Ferrari, now with all of the Todt movements maybe it opens up a more Visual position for Michael.

    Thanks Sam for the times. Judging by the times, this another reason why this guy Rodriguez should not even have a Superlicense, let alone believe he is entitled to an F1 Seat.

    According to some here, we can't determine his abilities as he might blossom into a WDC contender ala Massa... :rolleyes:

    Using his times from the test he actually managed to be just under the 107% rule. :)


    Bourdais is improving, yeah!
