Ferrari announced today that Michael Schumacher will undergo tomorrow evening another medical examination to check on the course of his condition. It is expected, that following this examination, Schumacher and Ferrari will make a statement as to when the German will return to racing. The Italian team is anxious to get Schumacher back as soon as possible, to help them with their Constructors Championship chase, as well as Eddie Irvine's challenge for the Drivers World Championship. This, following a bad weekend at Hungary that saw the gap in both championships slim down to virtually nothing.
