Michael Schumacher
was at the wheel of the MGP W01 today for the second day of the final
pre-season test at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.
Continuing the
development programme which team-mate Nico Rosberg began yesterday,
Michael worked on developing the balance and set-up of the car over
longer runs along with further practice of the teams race
weekend procedures, including pit stops and practice starts, in
preparation for the first race.
Michael completed
a total of 85 laps today setting a quickest lap time of 1:21.689.
Nico will be back
in the car tomorrow with Michael due to conclude the four-day test on Sunday.
Michael
Schumacher: We had a positive day but it was quite stop-start
with some changes on the car and then the red flags towards the end
of the day. We are working hard and even if the programme doesnt
run as smoothly as we would have liked, there is much more to come
from the team both here and in Bahrain. We are working very well
together and there is a good atmosphere within the team. |
