Championship leader Michael Schumacher completed his final day of testing for Ferrari at the Mugello circuit on Friday.

The German driver covered over 500 kilometres today in a programme that centred on set-up and aerodynamic work initiated yesterday.

He also did some tyre testing, completing a total of 105 laps with a best time of 1.24.056, the best ever performance for the F1-2000 at Mugello.

"I am very happy with the way these two days at Mugello have gone," said Schumacher. "We have done a really good job. We are very quick thanks to the new tyres, but on top of that we have found a good set-up which has allowed us to get the most out of the tyres."
