UPDATE This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' with today's announcement.

01/10/10 (GMM) Michael Schumacher will this week shift his return to formula one into a higher gear.

Reports in Blick (Switzerland) and Bild (Germany) reveal that, amid the current F1 testing ban, the 41-year-old will drive a GP2 car at the Jerez circuit in Spain.

The test, reportedly approved by the governing FIA, is reportedly scheduled to take place between Tuesday and Thursday.
