By on

Scuderia Ferrari driver Felipe Massa will return to the cockpit of a Formula One car in the coming weeks. Team Principal Stefano Domenicali confirmed that the Brazilian will test the Ferrari F2007 after going through all the needed medical examinations.

Domenicali said in the Japanese paddock: "I don't know yet when the test will be. We will decide this week because Felipe will come to Maranello tomorrow.

"He will stay with the team this week, he will go and do some training in the simulator, physical training in Maranello, and then we will decide when to do this. Also, because it is compulsory, he has to do an FIA medical check before doing something. This is something we will decide this week.

"What I can say is that it is not planned to do any driving in Brazil. For Abu Dhabi it is very, very unlikely. The main target is Bahrain next year."
