Norbert Haug has insisted he is not concerned about Michael Schumacher’s latest motorcycle outing.
According to the Cologne tabloid Express, the seven time world champion this week rented the Dijon-Prenois circuit in France in order to privately ride his 190 horse power Honda CBR 1000 Fireblade.
Also riding at the track were the 41-year-old’s friends including Luca Badoer and Sebastien Loeb.
Schumacher had to call off his intended return to F1 last year because he was still recovering from injuries sustained in a motorcycle testing crash.
But Haug, Mercedes’ competition boss, said he is not worried the same thing might reoccur.
“Michael can deal with the risk, and so can we,” Haug is quoted as saying.
Express also reported that Mercedes GP team principal Ross Brawn is this week on a four-day fishing vacation in Norway.
