'We will be working with two physiotherapists over the next two or three weeks to ensure we can achieve all our tasks,' said Peil.

While Schumacher is well-known as a fitness fanatic, Peil said there would be no chance that the seven-time world champion could overdo his preparations this time around.

'We won't have to hold him back this time as the challenges are so numerous and the time so short,' said Peil, who added that he noticed Schumacher's huge desire to make this comeback a success.

'It gives us hope that we will achieve the results we need in order for him to race. He wants to make it. Schumacher's complete professionalism stands behind this preparation.'

Peil refused to comment specifically on the neck injury Schumacher picked up in February when he fell off a motorbike, saying only that 'all injuries' a driver has picked up in his career would have to be taken into account.

'We try our best to balance things accordingly. But we will only know if he can drive when all the tests have been concluded,' said Peil.
