Schumacher's last test at Jerez

Thursday was a holiday here but some unfortunate people still had to work...Formula 1 drivers! They have such a tough job (yeah right) and a few of us thought we should go and "support" them during testing at Jerez on Thursday.

Actually, the real reason we went was to see Michael Schumacher carry out his last ever Ferrari testing programme before his last ever Formula 1 race in Brazil next week. It was just too goo too miss and with an entrance fee of just 3 Euros (why do they even bother charging) it was as a good friend of mine would say..." a no brainer".

I actually went up in a friend's Ferrari F355 (don't often get the chance) so we cruised up to the Jerez circuit in style. We actually got mobbed when we got there as everyone wanted to see and hear the car!

Once inside the circuit it was great to hear the cars (if you've never heard one then you have to put it on your list of things to do before you die) and see Schuey do his laps and blitz everyone else. There were loads of people there as it was a holiday in Spain so it was a great atmosphere at the circuit.

I've uploaded a short video which you can watch of the testing:

Just listen to that Ferrari...there's just nothing like it!
