Schumacher was fastest on both days of his return to F1 Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher will test again for Ferrari at Jerez in southern Spain in December. The 38-year-old German, who retired at the end of 2006, tested for two days at Barcelona earlier this month. A Ferrari spokesman said: "We haven't arranged the programme yet but he will do a couple of days." Schumacher was fastest on both days at the Circuit de Catalunya as he lent Ferrari his experience on cars without electronic driver aids. The systems, such as traction control, will be banned next season. 606: DEBATE Have your say on the latest issues in F1 Schumacher's first testing sessions following his retirement were described at the time as "half for pleasure, half for technical reasons".
