Jul.15 (GMM) Michael Schumacher will attend all three days of the German grand prix this weekend in his role as special consultant to the Ferrari team.

The retired seven time world champion, who is from Germany, has attended only one other formula one race so far this season; the Spanish grand prix at Barcelona in late April.

It is expected Schumacher, 39, will be at the Hockenheim circuit on Friday through to Sunday, after he plays in the F1 drivers' football team on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the latest weather reports suggest that rain is a 33-35 per cent possibility throughout the forthcoming three-day grand prix event.
