Michael Schumacher has began his preparation to return to Formula 1 action at the European Grand Prix next month.
The seven-time world champion will replace Felipe Massa in the Valencia race as the Brazilian continues with his recovery following the accident he suffered at the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend.
Schumacher travelled to Ferrari's factory in Maranello yesterday, where he worked at the static simulator to check the functionality of the steering wheel.
The German has borrowed an F2007 car and he is reported to be testing at the Mugello circuit today since 11am.
Schumacher admitted that he is trying to get as much mileage as possible before his return, even if it means driving old cars.
"There is this test ban in Formula 1, therefore I contacted some of the guys from F1 Clienti if they could give me a car," Schumacher wrote on his website.
"Although those cars are not current or last year's ones, I simply like to drive as much as possible, so this is a good option. The next weeks will be totally on preparation then."
