Schumi back at work:
The man was born to do this. Three months off and on his first day back Schumacher betters everyone’s time — except for one of the BAR cars — still using last season’s Ferrari.
I hope this is a sign of significant improvement on the Bridgestone tyres. People have been preaching about tyres for the past few seasons, but I think their performance in 2004 will be the most crucial yet if the Scuderia are to clinch the championship titles again. This season will host the most equally bred cars that we’ve seen in years; Michael, Kimi, Ralph, and Juan Pablo’s driving skills are all very closely matched; a very strong pack (Button, Sato, Trulli, Alonso, Webber) nipping at the big boys’ heels.
