NEWS STORY
A rumour working its way through the Nurburgring paddock, suggests that Michael Schumacher could be moved to the back of the grid for today's race, or even barred from the event, as a result of tyre irregularities.
We must stress that this is a rumour and is totally unsubstantiated at this time (08:55 BST)
Having checked with Bridgestone we can now confirm that the story is "bullshit", and is apparently one of a number of rumours going round today, each relating to a different driver.
p.s. Jacques Villeneuve is not testing at the Nurburgring today.
