Although there is no official confirmation yet of Ferrari's plans for the Sakhir test, Autosport has reported that Schumacher is scheduled to drive for the team in testing.

Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, has not driven a contemporary F1 car before and is also scheduled to drive for Alfa Romeo.

It is a hectic period for the 20-year-old, who is also set to make his Formula 2 debut at Bahrain this weekend.
