Schumacher's neck worries

If the return of Michael Schumacher continues to fuel discussions in the world of Formula 1, some small concerns have arisen recently. Thus, Sabine Kehm, the German spokesperson, is cautious about the feasibility of the operation. “ He's not yet completely sure if his neck will hold. His return depends on medical examinations which have yet to take place. Only after these exams will it then be clear whether he can pilot “, she explained to the German agency SID.

The seven-time world champion also declared that if his health did not allow him, he would not compete in the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23. “ I just have to admit that my neck hurts a little “, he indicated on his website. “ We need to solve this problem because health is a priority? This is the agreement I made with Ferrari and with my wife as well. »

The German driver's agent, Willi Weber, who initially did not believe in his client?s return, indicated that a final decision could only be taken next week. “ It all depends on his health and the doctors' decision “, he explained to the magazine auto motor und sport.

For now, Schumacher prefers to concentrate on his preparation. “ Let's go ! I accepted the challenge and, as you all know, I really like challenges », concluded the German.
