Ralf Schumacher has dismissed speculation that he might not recover from a heavy crash in time for next week's U.S. Grand Prix.
The German, whose Williams team lead Ferrari in the constructors' championship by four points, missed Sunday's Italian Grand Prix but said he assumed he would be fit again for the last two races.
"I am very amused to hear and read these rumours about who will be taking my place for the final two races. I can only say this: it will just remain speculation," Ralf said on his personal website today.
"I'm doing everything to be really fit again and of course assume that I'll be in Indianapolis. Everything else is rubbish," he added.
The Williams' driver is fourth in the championship, and out of the hunt for the Formula One title with two races left, but can pick up valuable constructors' points.
