Michael Schumacher has continued his preparations for a return to Formula 1 with a second day of kart racing.

The German, who plans to deputise for the injured Felipe Massa in Valencia on 23 August, had suffered some neck discomfort while testing an F1 car.

But the seven-time world champion told his website that the karting in Northern Italy had caused no problems.

Yikes.

I raced karts in my misspent youth. I’ve seen video of Schumacher driving a kart - he would have slaughtered me. It was like he had made some Faustian deal for that kind of talent.
