Michael Schumacher successfully wrapped up a GP2 test session
Thursday that is expected to aid his return to Formula One.
The 41-year-old German driver had his most productive day,
setting a best lap time of 1 minute, 24.621 seconds from 130 laps
— more than he managed over the first two days combined -
around the Jerez Circuit.
Schumacher says everything worked out "perfectly" and that he
felt "fit" and "comfortable immediately back in the car."
Schumacher, who will drive for Mercedes after three years in
retirement, ran wet tires for 23 laps before switching to slicks as
the track was not as wet as the past two days.
Schumacher is helping develop the F1 feeder series' 2011 car.
F1 testing begins Feb. 1.
