Ralf recovers from injury
 
BMW WilliamsF1 driver Ralf Schumacher will not test for the team until later this month while he recovers from a back injury.

Ralf started to suffer from a painful back during the recent Jerez tests and has been advised by specialists to rest prior to the start of the 2003 season. But despite his injury he will drive the 2003 FW25 challenger when it is launched at the end of January.

Filling the gap will be Frenchman Olivier Beretta, who started his duties for the team at Barcelona on Tuesday. The 33-year-old drove ten races for Larrousse in 1994 but has made his name in sports cars in recent years.
