His fans, Mercedes, and the entire Formula 1 hope that it does not deceive his feelings. Holding his neck from the increased burdens in the silver arrow? Certainty brings just the test on 1 February in Valencia. But now a renowned race doctor surprised with the following conclusion: Schumi can also travel with 60 yet!

"But there is also the astonishing fact that you can build with a lot of desire and passion as a 60-year-old still at least 90 to 95 percent of the fitness of a 20-year-olds. Even the muscle still works perfectly at that age. "
Olvey neurosurgeon who treated even Schumi-mate Felipe Massa after the horrific crash in August, cleans up well with the prejudice that allow for responsiveness with advancing age: "The you can keep the same level. Provided however, that certain things you are training constantly. For example, the interaction of eye and hand. As suitable, for example, computer games. "
In that respect Schumi is a pattern of returnees, he trained the body and reflexes in kart and on the bike and not with Daddelspielen.
