Michael Schumacher to perform testing in the F2007 race car

7 times World Champion and a Ferrari Formula 1 driver once again, Michael Schumacher is working hard in order to prepare himself for his re-debut at the European Grand Prix, happening next month on the 23rd.

 

Apart from performing various exercises to increase his stamina and to train his neck muscles, the 40 year old is performing tests on a Ferrari Formula 1 simulator, which is a must-have tool for modern Grand Prix drivers. Such simulators offer real-life racing scenarios. Just like some high quality racing games, a simulator features circuits developed using laser technology and satellite images, and cars with real life driving characteristics. In fact, drivers can virtually drive in various scenarios, such as rain (light, hard, monsoon) and suffer from mechanical failures. You can also perform things like practicing on starts and pitstops. Basically it is very real, but of course, there are certain things that you can only get when you drive a real Formula 1 car on a real track.
