---------------------------------------------------------
Ralf Schumacher has to join the German Army in November 1997. After a
physical test on which he scored 2 he was allowed into the army. Michael
his brother scored 5 on that same test and not has to go into the German
army. The German army is flexible and will let Ralf join all test
sessions and Grand Prix's. All this means that Ralf is in very good
physical condition.

Prost team posts fastest-ever lap( 13 august, AFP)
---------------------------------------------------------
Italian Formula One driver Jarno Trulli clocked the fastest lap ever
recorded at the Mugello circuit Wednesday at the wheel of his Prost
Grand Prix car. Trulli clocked a best lap time of 1min 25.120sec while
testing at the Tuscany circuit, averaging 221.828 km/h. He beat the
previous best mark of 1:25.252 set by Michael Schumacher's Ferrari in a
private practice session on April 3. Though a boost for team morale,
Trulli's time like Schumacher's could not be recorded as an official lap
record since they can only be clocked during races or official
qualifying sessions. The Prost team are joined for this week's practice
sessions by Sauber drivers Johnny Herbert, who finished third in
Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, and Gianni Morbidelli.
