Contrary to reports earlier this month, it now appears less likely that former Ferrari ace Michael Schumacher will return to the cockpit of Ferrari's 2008 car at the forthcoming Monza test.

Press speculation in Germany said the retired seven-time world champion's Monza outing was a reaction to the reliability and performance problems suffered by the Italian team in recent weeks.

But Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm subsequently would not confirm the news, and the usually reliable Swiss newspaper Blick is now reporting that the German will actually not be testing at the high-speed Italian venue next week.
