FORMULA One burst back to life yesterday with Michael Schumacher presenting his new Mercedes and Ferrari's Felipe Massa back on track six months after suffering life-threatening head injuries.
Completing a hat-trick of comebacks, veteran Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa made his first appearance in three years as a fully-fledged racing driver when he tested the new Sauber.
Schumacher, coming out of retirement at the age of 41 and three years after his last race with Ferrari, had to watch as teammate Nico Rosberg was given the honor of starting the first test since the 2009 season ended in November.
The seven-time world champion will try out the new W01 'Silver Arrow', an evolution of last year's championship-winning Brawn with a fuel cell doubled in size to satisfy the ban on refuelling.
Massa cemented his return with his first competitive session since he crashed at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July after being hit on the head by bouncing debris from compatriot Rubens Barrichello's car.
Barrichello was also out on track in the new Williams, making a low-key debut with the team deciding against a formal launch.
Britain's Gary Paffett gave the sleek-looking new McLaren its test debut.
Poland's Robert Kubica made his Renault debut, after moving from BMW-Sauber while Switzerland's Sebastien Buemi gave the new Toro Rosso first run.
The STR5 is the first car Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso has built and designed separately from the Red Bull Racing team, in line with new regulations banning "customer cars".
