Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher was back testing a racing car just 48 hours after announcing his shock return to Formula One racing, Ansa said on Friday.
Schumacher, who retired in 2006, tested the Ferrari F2007 at the famous Mugello track near Florence.
The 40-year-old German is due to take part in the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23 as a replacement for Brazilian Felipe Massa, who was seriously injured in a freak accident during qualifying for last weekend's Hungarian Grand prix in Budapest.
