Schumacher Shed 3Kg in F1 Preparation

Aside from testing a Formula One car for the first time in the last 15 months – as he conducted a 70-lap test at Mugello on a Ferrari F2007 last weekend – Michael Schumacher is also in the middle of a well-balanced fitness programme aimed at getting him in shape for the European Grand Prix.

And the results are visible after only a few days of training, as the 40-year old German himself confirmed he has shed no less than 3 kilograms during the past week. Writing on his personal website about his preparation for the Valencia race, the 7-time world champion admitted staying healthy is the main priority for the weeks to come.

I'm currently in the midst of my preparations for the upcoming race. I already lost three kilograms even if it is also important to me to build up muscles. So all in all, the practice works pretty well,” admitted Schu.

I only have to admit that my neck pinches a bit. 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, too,” added the Ferrarian.

In addition, the German driver wanted to thank his fans for their immense support following his decision to make an F1 return.

I really would like to thank all my fans who keep their fingers crossed for my plans for all the positive feedback. It's incredible how much support I get from all over the world in these days. It almost feels like as if a flush of positive energy is coming over me. Compliments to all of you!” concluded Schu.
