Michael Schumacher has tested several new parts for the F 310 yesterday at Fiorano (Italy) and today he drove 64 laps with the F 310 fitted with the 1995 gearbox (best time: 1:03.34) and 11 laps with the Australian Grand Prix car (best time: 1:03.16 (slight improvement of track record)). The Ferrari team are now considering the possibility of using the 1995 gearbox in Sao Paulo Buenos Aires, the next two Grands Prix, because it is more reliable than the new one. The German said after the tests about the improved weather: "I'm glad it doesn't rain and that there are good circumstances."
