The two Ferrari drivers running at the Catalunya Circuit, Luca Badoer and Michael Schumacher, worked mainly on the electronics of the F2007 and on development of new components aimed at next season.

The day in figures is as follows: 63 laps for Michael (best time 1.21.918) and 75 for Luca (1.22.133.)

Testing continues at this circuit again tomorrow, when Felipe Massa will join Michael Schumacher.  Chronicles.com

“The plan was just for me to further develop the car now and give as much input as I can during my time here,” Schumacher told reporters afterwards.

“It took me a bit of time, maybe two laps, and then I was back into the groove. And I have to say I surprised myself that I was so quickly on it again.

“I was a bit nervous [yesterday],” he added.

“It was probably a bit like a little kid, I felt like I did when I was 18 again… Being out on the track is still a very good feeling.”  ITV.com


Michael Schumacher was fastest for the second straight day at Formula One winter testing on Wednesday.

The seven-time world champion, who retired at the end of the 2006 season, clocked a best lap time of one minute 21.489 seconds from 90 laps completed in his Ferrari F2007 at the Circuit de Catalunya.

“It’s winter and the low temperatures help the car run faster,” Schumacher said. “We must also bear in mind that we are now at the end of the season and many aspects of the car have been improved.”  CanadianPress.com
