Australian GP - Friday Free Practice
Michael Schumacher was the fastest man on the opening day of the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
Michael “We are quite pleased with today’s performance and we  feel  more confident than before arriving here. But I am not  over  confident because a lot can change between today and  Saturday. Actually,  I am a little bit surprised about the gap to the other teams, but  as usual on Friday you can never be  sure  about  what  fuel  loads teams are running. Anyway, the   Bridgestone   tyres   were   working   very   well  which contributed  to  our  performance.  But  I  will now study the data more fully to get a more complete picture" said.
