Retired seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher will test again for Ferrari at Jerez in southern Spain next month, the Formula One team said on Thursday.
"We haven’t arranged the programme yet but he will do a couple of days," a Ferrari spokesman said.
Schumacher retired at the end of the 2006 season but returned to the race track this month in a test that Ferrari described at the time as "half for pleasure, half for technical reasons." He was the fastest driver on both days he tested at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya.
The 38-year-old German, who has ruled out a return to racing, has useful experience in driving cars without traction control and so-called ‘driver aids’. Formula One’s technical rules are changing next year, with such systems removed.
"My love for this sport has never faded and to drive the F1 car is the best you can do as a motorsportsman," Schumacher said on his website before the last test.
"It has nothing to do with my decision to retire though, that is irrevocable. I hope I can give Ferrari some support in the preparations for the new season."
Kimi Joins Schumi For Test
From IltaSanomat
Kimi Raikkonen will also be testing alongside Michael Schumacher on the 4th December.
Ferrari’s past and present world champions will be testing without traction control and with slick tyres. It is a combination that intrigues many fans to follow this test between the two, who are arguably known as the fastest drivers in the world. This will also be the first time where Kimi and Michael drive the same cars in the same conditions.
It’s only testing and not racing, but we think Kimi will just pip Michael in the timesheets anyway!
No Number 1 Status for 2008 – Ferrari
From Home Of Sport
Luca Baldisserri has revealed that Ferrari’s 2008
car, to be an "evolution" of the current F2007, will be tested for the
first time at Jerez on 14 January.
"For the first test we will be ready with two cars," the Italian,
who is the Maranello based team’s head of track activities, confirmed
to the newspaper La Stampa.
He also said Kimi Räikkönen, the newly crowned world champion, will
not enjoy number one status next year over teammate Felipe Massa.
"The track will determine the hierarchy," he explained. "The same as
in the days of Schumacher. Barrichello for example ended 2003 very
strongly and began 2004 full of chances, but Michael won the first five
races."
Despite the promotion of Stefano Domenicali to team boss, meanwhile,
Jean Todt will still attend grands prix in 2008, Baldisserri said.
Like McLaren’s MP4/22 which was an evolution of the non-winning MP4/21, the Ferrari is a solid car but it needs to improve on the reliability front. I hope they manage to improve it along with changing the wheelbase of the car from longer to shorter, as the long wheelbase design was a disadvantage this year at slow tracks like Monaco and Hungary.
That’s an odd comparison Baldisserri made on Barrichello and Kimi. In 2003, Michael Schumacher won his fifth race of the season and won the championship by 2 points in Japan, the last grand prix, but Barrichello won the race. Massa won less races than Kimi this year, and it was Kimi who became champion. It’s obvious that Kimi is the better driver, but he doesn’t need a Number 1 status to beat Felipe again. So, I think it’s good that Ferrari remain equal with their drivers, but the comparison between Barrichello and Schumacher in 2003 is totally wrong!
FUCK ISRAEL 
WOW!!!!!!! Kimi & Schumi in the same cars at the same time on the same track!!!!!! That IS gonna b a closely watched competition – Hope Kimi DOES pip Schumi……
