A Ferrari F1 spokesperson told GPUpdate.net: "Michael Schumacher will be testing with our team on Wednesday. He will mainly focus on the development of slick tyres - the tyres that will be used in 2009. Felipe Massa will be testing on Monday and Tuesday while Kimi Raikkonen will be in the car on Thursday."

For Schumacher it will be the second time this year he will be testing with the Ferrari Formula One team.
