"Yes, that is correct, I was driving the Formula 3 car," confirmed Schumacher, before elaborating on his plans. "I'm planning on doing a lot of driving, or as much driving as I can this year, in different categories and in different cars. "This year, I decided that I wanted to be as fit as I've ever been, which I feel I've achieved so far, and I'm still planning on getting even fitter until the beginning of the season. "Driving wise, I'm still in the loop very much, and I'm planning on staying there."
Schumacher's Formula 3 car test
A source confirmed to RacingNews365.com that Schumacher had driven a Dallara 320 at the Estoril circuit, used in the Super Formula Light (Japanese Super Formula feeder series) championship. The Super Formula Light cars are more relevant to Formula 1 drivers owing to their similar handling characteristics to F1 cars. Schumacher also confirmed to German media that he has no immediate plans to compete in the World Endurance Championship whilst he focusses on a Formula 1 return.
