Had he not injured his neck whilst motorcycling in February, Michael Schumacher could have found himself on the grid for Ferrari this weekend although the German, who was unable to substitute for Felipe Massa this season, has wished Giancarlo Fisichella all the best ahead of the Roman's first Ferrari race.
With Massa having been injured in Hungary, Schumacher unable to replace him and reserve driver Luca Badoer off the pace in Valencia and Spa, Fisichella becomes the fourth Ferrari race pilot this year.
"I saw Giancarlo yesterday at the eSafety event (pictured at top with former Ferrari Team Principal Jean Todt) and could welcome him into the Ferrari family," seven-time Champion Schumacher said wrote on his website. "Of course I wish him well for Monza.
"We've know each other for so many years - and we still often play football together for the Nazionale Piloti team - that I can imagine well what it means for him to be a driver for Ferrari now. Ok, then: welcome to the club, Giancarlo."
