German's got talent

Michael Schumacher drove a Ferrari F2007 today in his first F1 test for over a year and immediately topped the times.

All 11 F1 teams were present on the first of the three-day official Barcelona test with Schuey on hand to provide Ferrari some tips on driving and setting up a car without traction control.

Yeah right. Schuey was out there having a ball and duffing up the youngsters for the hell of it.

Schumacher was quickest at the end of day one, finishing 2/10ths ahead of Ferrari's 'official' test driver Luca Badoer. Schuey's time was also 7/10ths quicker than Massa's fastest '07 race lapÂ…

Red Bull's David Coulthard, always good for a one-liner, quipped 'It looks as though he's got a talent. He will make his way to F1.'

Other notables present at Barcelona were Indian Karun Chandhok (testing for Red Bull), Sebastien Bourdais (Toro Rosso), and Giedo van der Garde and Roldan Rodriguez for the new Force India team.
