Seven-time World Formula 1 Champion Michael Schumacher confirmed on Friday he is now feeling more comfortable at the wheel of his 2010 Mercedes.
Schumacher outpaced the sister car driven by Nico Rosberg in both 90-minute sessions.
"Here I'm feeling comfortable with the car, it does do what I'm asking it to do," said the German, after driving the revised W01 car with a longer wheelbase.
Nico Rosberg, meanwhile said he "went wrong on the setup" of the updated car.
In other Schumacher news, the German Grand Prix is not a sellout yet despite Schumacher fever.
In the Barcelona paddock, track boss Georg Seiler said that 55,000 tickets for race-day Sunday have been sold to date.
But he is quoted by the German news agency SID as confirming that ticket sales did increase in the wake of Schumacher's decision to return, meaning that the event should break even in 2010.
"We hope Schumacher starts to win races. Then with six German drivers we would be looking at a full house -- anything else would be incomprehensible," Seiler admitted.
