Massa took to the circuit and completed 39 laps in is new motor, with both Kimi Raikkonen and ex-Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher watching on with anticipation.

Schumacher’s knowledge of the Scuderia’s cars will also enable the German multiple world champion to give feedback to team to improve the car before it hits the streets of Albert Park in March.
