A medical inspection for Ralf

Ralf Schumacher will undergo a medical inspection today before deciding whether or not to race at Monza this weekend. If Ralf decides not to race his World Championship hopes will disappear, although he is already only a long shot for the title being 14 points behind his brother Michael, the current leader. The tire crisis is not going to help his cause.

Schumacher is still suffering from headaches after his crash during the Monza testing a week ago. The car suffered a rear suspension failure and flipped when it went off the road at high speed in the second Lesmo Corner.
