Ten days ago, Schumacher had a one-day test in the 2007 Ferrariat the circuit near Florence.

"Schumacher has set up the test with the Italian car manufacturer's F1 Clienti department and is understood to be paying for the private session himself," said the official Formula One website.

It added that the German had arranged a two-day test at the Italian track, Mugello, from Tuesday.

The all-time F1 legend will replace the injured Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on Aug. 23.
