Grand Prix. |

Schumacher,
who suffered a deep gash to his leg
during the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks
ago, said he would wait to see how he fared in
Friday's practice session.
"I will make a decision after
I've tried out a few laps in the car," Schumacher said. "It feels
okay
at the moment but I haven't
tested it yet.
"I haven't driven
a car since the accident so I will have to find out in
practice."
Schumacher admitted
he would pull out of the race if he did not feel
100 percent fit.
"I will not
race for the sake of it as it wouldn't be the best for
the team or myself. If I cannot
brake left-footed then it
is not worth it.
"I don't think
the pressure will be the problem but it will be how the
leg responds to the bumps of going around corners."
If Schumacher opts out of
the race Brazilian test driver Bruno Junqueira will make his
Grand Prix
debut.
