Michael Schumacher on Sunday returned to the wheel of a Ferrari formula one car.
The seven time world champion, who retired from driving after the Brazilian grand prix last October, appeared at Fiorano in the F2004 single seater — the car he drove to his last drivers’ title in 2004.
The German said the celebration of Ferrari’s sixtieth birthday differed greatly to the fifty-year anniversary ten years ago.
He said: “Back then (in 1997) I was a driver and my mind was focused only on the next race.
“But today I could fully enjoy this beautiful moment with Ferrari.”
Also present at Ferrari’s private test circuit were former team drivers including Niki Lauda, Rene Arnoux, Jody Scheckter, Jean Alesi, Gerhard Berger and Eddie Irvine.
