SCARPERIA, Italy (Oct 13, 1998 - 12:32 EDT) - Michael Schumacher and Eddie
Irvine began putting the Ferraris through their paces on Tuesday, in a bid
to find the right tires for this season's final grand prix in Japan.

Schumacher trails Mika Hakkinen by four points in the drivers' championship
before the all-important race at Suzuka on November 1.

The two Ferrari men completed just one test lap at the Mugello circuit on
Tuesday morning before returning to the pits. The tire session was set to
last for the rest of the day.

Schumacher completed 153 laps while testing the day before at Fiorano, as
the Italian team pull out all the stops to beat McLaren.
