Indexed: Thu Apr 17, 2008 @ 09:00:24AM 5 months 4 weeks ago

Renault's Fernando Alonso topped the timesheets as this week's multi-team test at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya continued on Wednesday. Alonso's best, a 1m 18.483s lap, was set on Bridgestone's 2009 slick tyres and put the Spaniard almost a second ahead of former sparring partner Michael Schumacher, who returned to the cockpit for Ferrari. Alonso covered 100 laps as he completed a busy set-up programme for the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix, alongside his work on the slick tyres. The former world champion will hand over the R28 to his team mate Nelson Piquet on Thursday.
