Ralf Schumacher Will Fly to Canada Despite
Pain
Sunday June 11th, 2000
Ralf Schumacher, who injured
his leg in Monaco a week ago, will fly to
Montreal despite still
suffering pain
when walking and will decide this week if he is fit enough
for next Sunday's
Canadian Grand Prix. |

"I
will definitely fly to Montreal and decide whether
I can drive on Thursday. At the moment
walking is still
very painful," Schumacher told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper
in an interview.
The Williams driver, younger
brother of Ferrari's Formula One drivers'
championship leader Michael, gashed his leg after
crashing heavily into barriers at the Monaco Grand Prix last
Sunday and has been treated
by a specialist in Cologne.
"I have
already started to do some
light exercises for shoulder, arm and throat muscles. But I
can't put any weight on my leg yet," he said.
His manager Franz Tost
has said the 24-year- old driver was unlikely
to risk taking part in
Canada unless fully recovered.
A team spokeswoman has said
it is still too early to talk about who might replace Schumacher
in
the team if he is unable to
compete in Canada.
