Although the team says that the injuries are not serious, they do raise questions over the speed of Schumacher's comeback, and his ability to control the throttle with reduced sensitivity.

Ferrari team chief Jean Todt would not be drawn on a deadline for Schumacher's return, claiming that the German would only re-appear in the cockpit when he felt able to perform at his best.
"He will come back when the doctors feel he is ready - and when feels he is ready," Todt said, "Possibly, it will be before the end of the season, but I am not going to speculate on that."
