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 doesn't 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." TIMES (All timings are unofficial) Pos Driver Car Time Laps 1. Nico Hulkenberg Williams 1:20.614 99 2.
