Michael Schumacher underwent a medical check-up yesterday. The driver's condition is good and his convalescence is proceeding according to plan. None the less, the doctors have advised the driver to wait a further four weeks before tackling a full rehabilitation programme.

Following that, Schumacher's spokesman, Heiner Buchinger, told the German media that, "The recovery process is taking place normally. Sadly, it is not going any quicker than expected." Schumacher will definitely miss the Luxembourg Grand Prix at Nurburgring, Buchinger added.
