Schumi still the one to beat

Over 3000 Formula 1 fans turned up at Barcelona's Catalunya circuit onTuesday, to watch ex world champion, Michael Schumacher put the new Ferrari through its paces.
Schumacher managed the fastest time of the day, forcing Britain's David Coulthard to quip, "It looks as though he's got talent. He will make his way to F1."

"It's good to see I'm still able to do it. It was great fun and I really like it a lot," said the German.
Schumacher has no intentions of returning to racing however, and is enjoying his position with Ferrari as technical advisor.

Schumi in Barcelona Ferrari test

Ferrari legend, Michael Schumacher is set to dust down his overalls, to test the latest Ferrari at Barcelona next week. Ferrari want to tap into the 38-year-old's experience of F1 cars without electronic driver aids ahead of the ban on such systems for next year.

Schumacher who retired from Formula 1 at the end of 2006, has no intentions of making a comeback and is testing as part of his contractual obligations as Ferrari technical adviser.

Schumacher will test on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Circuit de Catalunya. He has been in Spain already this last weekend at the Valencia circuit for the Moto GP, where he demonstrated his skills on two wheels, by riding Casey Stoner's title winning Ducati, after the end of the Moto GP season.
