Schumacher rolls back the years in Melbourne


Michael Schumacher rolled back the years today as he ended a day's practice on top of the time sheets for the first time since returning from retirement in 2010.

The 43 year-old seven time world champion clocked a best lap of one minute 29.18 seconds in his Mercedes in the final minute of a dramatic day's action at rain-hit Albert Park in Melbourne.
 
The lap lifted him ahead of fellow German and Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg by one-tenth of a second.

Two-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel was tenth quickest ahead of qualifying tomorrow for Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
