Schumacher pushing hard on day two of testing

After stealing the show on Tuesday, Michael Schumacher topped the time sheets once again as testing broke for lunch on Wednesday at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya.

Not only did the retired seven time world champion improve his best Tuesday lap time by about four-tenths, he was so far on Wednesday nearly a full second faster than McLaren's Pedro de la Rosa at the lunch hour.

It was not all smooth sailing with the Ferrari team, however, as Schumacher ran into the gravel at one point, while Felipe Massa's sister F2007 had to be returned to the pits on the back of a truck.

Also in action at the circuit near Barcelona on Wednesday morning, alongside runners for every Formula One team, was former Honda test driver Christian Klien, who is bidding to return to the grid next season with Force India.

Interesting stuff all around. I'm sure this'll fuel unfounded rumours about a possible Schumacher return.

The Honda Formula One team has added a big name in its quest to emerge from F1's cellar. Former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn is Honda F1's new team principal. Brawn took a sabbatical from Ferrari in 2007 after 10 years with the team, where he masterminded Michael Schumacher's five world championships to go along with the two titles Schumacher and Brawn won previously at Benetton. Brawn will oversee all aspects of Honda's F1 car development and on-track competition. Nick Fry remains as the team's CEO

I'm excited about Ross Brawn's heading to Honda. I would like to see that team do well. I'm not sure if he will be able to do it all himself.
We have to remember that he had a considerable pool of talent at Benetton and Ferrari to draw from that it would seem Honda is lacking right now.
