Michael Schumacher To Return For Ferrari Next Week

Michael Schumacher is to accompany Kimi Raikkonen during Ferrari’s testing sessions at the Catalunya circuit in Barcelona. Schumacher last tested for Ferrari late in 2007 and is set to contribute to his teams final pre season preparations.

Felipe Massa and test driver Luca Badoer have just completed a full race simulation. This involved taking the F2008 machine through the normal rigours of a weekend race starting with the free practice session, the three qualifying sessions and the Barcelona Grand Prix. This included full pit scenarios and timings.

Massa successfully completed the race with his fastest lap of 1 min 20.508 seconds. Luca Badoer had to pull in during the final leg of the race with an oil leak.

I wonder how Michael Schumacher will do next week, will he be quicker? Time will tell.
