Schu's back, Barca not boring, Massa under pressure

Michael Schumacher bounced back into shape in Barcelona, a race that was not boring, according to the international press.

"Schumacher is once again a great man. There he is again!" exclaimed Italy's Corriere dello Sport, after the German consistently outpaced his teammate Nico Rosberg for the first time in his return to formula one.

Another previously critical Italian source, the sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, added: "Perhaps Barcelona was his real start to the season", while Austria's Osterreich said Spain had been Schumacher's "best race since returning" to F1.

Niki Lauda agreed: "This was Michael's resurrection. He drove well and aggressively."
