SEPTEMBER 27, 1999
Schumacher and Malaysia
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER should be back in action in a Ferrari on October 7 when he is scheduled to have another test at the team's Fiorano testing facility.
Schumacher did not appear at the European Grand Prix but did attend a karting event on the Thursday before the race. He is still walking with a pronounced limp and there are no guarantees that he will be back in action in Malaysia as the normal healing process - which takes between 12 and 16 weeks - may have been extended by the fact that Michael did some damage to ligaments when he tried to return to testing too quickly.
