WORLD CHAMPION Michael Schumacher suffered a rather large accident during testing in Barcelona on Wednesday, but walked away unhurt.

The German hit a tire barrier with the back of the car and went off in turn 12 of the Spanish circuit. The F2001 was heavily damaged, and is in the process of being inspected by the Ferrari team.

Schumacher's day of testing is over, and we will wait to see if he will return on Thursday as scheduled.
