Michael Schumacher's return to Formula One is not yet a done deal and he still needs a doctor's seal of approval, his spokesperson has confirmed.


The seven-time World Champion is set to replace Felipe Massa at this month's European Grand Prix in Valencia after the Brazilian suffered a career-threatening accident in Hungary last month.


His spokesperson Sabine Kehm confirmed on Wednesday that his return is subject to a medical, which is expected to take place next week.


"He's still not absolutely certain that his neck will hold up. His return depends on medical examinations which have yet to take place. Only after these tests will it be clear if he can drive," Kehm told German agency SID.


She added: "Michael is committed 100 percent to his return and is completely immersed in preparations for the Valencia meeting.


"It all depends on his health and the doctors' opinion."


Schumacher admitted on Tuesday that his neck was still bothering following a motorcycle accident earlier this year.


"All in all, the training is going pretty well, although I have to admit my neck pinches a bit," he told his official website.


"We have to get a grip on that as health has priority. That's the clear arrangement made with Ferrari and, by the way, with my wife (Corinna) too."

Alonso is tired of listening to all these rumours about his future

“There! Like this I will be able to concentrate 100% on my 2009 season with Renault”

THIS IS EMBARASSING!

pfft, you just need to read Fizman's comic more

BMW team boss Mario Theissen insists the team is still seeking a "solution" despite missing Wednesday's deadline to sign the new Concorde Agreement.


Last Friday all 2010 teams, including the three new outfits, signed the new Agreement, which will run until 2012.


BMW, though, did not put pen to paper as the German manufacturer had announced prior to the signing that they would be withdrawing from the sport at the end of this year's Championship. They were given until Wednesday, 5 August, to sign the deal.


But with the team failing to find a buyer within the week, Theissen revealed they failed to meet the deadline, although that doesn't mean the outfit, under new ownership, won't make the 2010 grid.


"Since the announcement on 29 July of our strategic realignment, we have done everything in our power to reach a rapid agreement on the sale of the team based at Hinwil. Regrettably, despite every effort, this has proved unsuccessful," Theissen said.


"The tight timeframe we faced simply did not allow us and the interested parties and investors enough time to find a solution for such a complex transaction. This means the team cannot sign the Concorde Agreement at present.


"The aim now is, over the coming weeks, to find a solution together with potential interested parties and Peter Sauber. Beyond that, we will see the 2009 season through to its conclusion with our unstinting sporting commitment

BMW is just being stubborn here. The team is now gone. Why they want to hold out for more money for something they dissolved themselves?

Going down with a bang, an high asking price can be a wound licker for them after bleeding that much money in the past few years.

B M W ................... Banyak Makan Wang ..

....... n wonder lorrrr ...

agreed. they are trying to minimise their losses at least. still hoping that Peter Sauber can find a buyer to take the team.

America, where Formula 1 is lower ranking than Nascar...

Could someone let me know when tickets will roughly be available for the new 2010 race? Besides, I was orientating on some nice seats, which seats are the best to take? I mean, is it better to get a pricy ticket on the straight part of the circuit, or are there other and better positions to be at during the race?

Anybody can recommend a good position? (budget around RM500)...

The FIA has re-opened the selection procedure for the final place on the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship entry list, in the wake of BMW's announcement that it is withdrawing from the sport at the end of the year.

AUTOSPORT understands that yesterday, FIA president Max Mosley wrote to the seven teams on the 'reserve list' - those under consideration for a place on the grid that did not receive an automatic entry in July - as well as BMW Sauber, to inform them that a place on the grid has become available.

Peter Sauber is still working with BMW to put a rescue package in place for the team he is a 20% partner in, but the Swiss was not able to secure the necessary funding in time to meet last Wednesday's deadline to sign the new Concorde Agreement.

Therefore, while sources suggest that Sauber is making progress to secure the budget to save his eponymous outfit, the FIA is inviting whatever BMW Sauber should become to tender its application alongside the other seven hopefuls selected from the original 15 applications, to pitch for the final place on the grid.

Epsilon Euskadi has already signalled its intention to re-apply, while David Richards' Prodrive outfit is believed still to be interested should the conditions be right to enter F1.

Epsilon Team boss Joan Villadelprat told AUTOSPORT last week: "We are still working on the project, at a much slower rate obviously because we don't have the security [to be on the grid].

"What we can say is that the people who were interested in helping us are still interested, which is something incredible. And if the opportunity arises, we are going to attack it, there's no doubts about it."

Schumacher calls off comeback

Michael Schumacher has called off his return to Formula One due to a neck injury.

Michael Schumacher has called off his return to Formula One due to a neck injury.

.."Yesterday evening, I had to inform Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo and Team Principal Stefano Domenicali that unfortunately I'm not able to step in for Felipe (Massa)," he said on his website.

"I really tried everything to make that temporary comeback possible, however, much to my regret it didn't work out. Unfortunately we did not manage to get a grip on the pain in the neck which occurred after the private test in Mugello, even if medically or therapeutically we tried everything possible.

"I am disappointed to the core. I am awfully sorry for the guys of Ferrari and for all the fans which crossed their fingers for me. I can only repeat that I tried everything that was within my power. All I can do now is to keep my fingers crossed for the whole team for the coming races."
