Confidence from the former Champion
Although he spent some time at the side of the track on Thursday, Michael Schumacher sounded positive when asked about Ferrari`s new `248 F1` car at Valencia.

"At the moment I do not see a reason to be anything but optimistic," said the deposed seven time champion.

While many reporters staked out the scarlet garage to catch a glimpse of Valentino Rossi, 37-year-old Schumacher quietly ended up within a second of the pace in Spain.
