Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher was back behind the wheel of a racing car just 48 hours after announcing his shock return to the sport.

F1 rules currently block any driver from practicing in the car that will race the Grand Prix, so Schumacher was forced to take to the track in team-mate Kimi Raikkonen's championship winning car from two-years-ago

Schumacher will make his return at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23, where the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button will be praying they can outwit the all-time-great.

The German made the decision after long talks with Ferrari bosses following Felipe Massa's freak accident during the qualifying session at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.
