Schumacher begins F1 return by testing GP2 car

Mon 11th, January 2010

Jerez, Spain (Sports Network) - Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher will participate in a GP2 test session at Jerez this week, in preparation for his return to F1 this upcoming season.

F1's governing body, the International Automobile Federation (FIA), prohibits any pre-season testing until next month, but Schumacher is aiding organizers of the GP2 Series -- the feeder series to F1 -- with work on their next generation car.

Schumacher came out of retirement from F1 last month when he signed with Mercedes GP. The 41-year-old German retired from the sport following the 2006 season. He considered a comeback in the middle of 2008 season as replacement driver to the injured Felipe Massa at Ferrari, but said he was unable to drive due to injuries he sustained in a motorcycle accident last February.

"Michael's desire to drive a high-performance competition vehicle as part of his preparations has found a match in the objectives of the GP2 Series to develop the 2011/2013 car," Mercedes said in a team statement. "As GP2 are currently defining the technical features of the series' third generation car which will debut in Spring 2011, the series organizers saw a fantastic opportunity to benefit from Michael's experience and his legendary technical abilities."

F1 conducts its first test session on February 1 at Valencia, Spain. The 2010 season begins with the March 14 Bahrain Grand Prix.
