Brawn: Michael and Nico ran different programmes


Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn was happy with progress on the opening day of practice for the Spanish Grand Prix, with Michael Schumacher looking more competitive than he has thus far in 2010 with third quickest time behind the pace-setting Red Bulls. Brawn confirmed, however, that Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, who was seventh, half a second behind, had run different programmes...

"...The drivers ran different programmes today with Nico making some different changes, so tonight we'll put all the packages together and see how we run the cars tomorrow..."

Weather: Bright, sunny, but overnight rain last night washed the rubber away.

Anyway, this race is gonna be quite poor. Last time there was an entertaining dry race here?

Monaco next weekend will be better
