Michael Schumacher happy with first foray into darkness

Michael Schumacher had his first drive round the Singapore street circuit under floodlights and pronounced the experience a success.

"It has been a lot of fun driving this track today, even in the dark," the seven-times world champion, who came out of a three-year retirement at the start of the year, told reporters after completing his practice session.

"It is the first time driving here in Singapore for me and I was curious to experience how it would be and I have to say that I liked it.                                           

"I had heard that the track is quite bumpy but I didn't find that it was too much, just in one sector," the 41-year-old German added. "The rest is pretty good and exciting."
