Subject: Troubled test for Schumacher
Michael Schumacher had a troubled test with his new Ferrari F310B when he tested it in public for the first time. The two-times world champion had completed ten laps when flames shot out of the rear of the car. Mechanics spent most of the rest of the day trying to fix the problem which was believed to an engine or gearbox one. "Reliability will be a key factor this year." said Schumacher. "It's not possible to know whether we can start winning right away."
