Schumacher to test F1 2007 again in Monza

[ze_shark]

Sources close to the Monza F1 track indicate that the Scuderia Ferrari has booked the circuit on Saturday August 29th 2009 to hold a session with test driver Luca Badoer and Michael Schumacher using the F1 2007, two weeks ahead of the italian Grand Prix.

Although the official reason is said to be the shooting of a promotional movie, the possibility of a return of Schumacher for the Italian Grand Prix cannot be excluded.

The announcement of a return of the seven times F1 world champion at the Europe GP in Valencia had created much anticipation, but had to be called off due to neck injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash a few months prior. While the Belgium Grand Prix in Spa Francorchamps and its fast, high G sweepers would bring too much strain on Schumacher's muscles, it is possible that the Monza track configuration is less demanding in that regard, in spite of its terrifying Parabolica corner.

If this is started as an english thread, pls be kind enough ... to reply in english as well ?

Now to your questions: how do you think I know ?
Perhaps because Philippe called me today to apologize that his track day has been postponed because the Autodromo bowed under Ferrari pressure and cancelled their confirmed reservation ?

Then, if Ferrari had to shoot a promo movie, why did it have to be last minute and in Monza while they can do everything they pretty much want in Fiorano or Mugello ?
