Seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher will attend all three days of the German grand prix this weekend in his role as special consultant to the Scuderia Ferrari team.

The retired German World Champion 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 arrangement whereby Hockenheim and the Nurburgring annually alternate as host of a single grand prix in Germany looks set to continue at least until 2011.
