Luca Badoer called to replace Felipe Massa at the Valencia GP. Its now certain that Michael Schumacher will give way to Luca Badoer to replace injured and recuperating Felipe Massa at the Valecia Grand Prix.

There have been many discussions as to Michael Schumacher will replace the Brazilian and there was news that Schumi even started to train his hands on steer wheel.

The news therefore came in as surprise but Schumacher had announced that he isn’t fit enough to stand in place of Massa as he believe he still needs time to fully recover from his neck injury which he sustained in a motorbike accident early this year.

Once Schumacher announced his drop, Ferrari announced its test driver Luca Badoer to replacing Felipe Massa.

Luca’s earlier race was 10 years back in 1999 for Minardi. He now gets the an unprecedented chance to go into the race after putting so many years of training and efforts as test driver.
