Juan Pablo Montoya is doubtful whether the hype of his former rival Michael Schumacher's return to formula one will be justified.

"Will he be faster than the (regular) Ferrari drivers? That would surprise me, but you never know," the Colombian, who in his grand prix career 2001-2006 was often wheel-to-wheel with the German, is quoted as saying by the Bild newspaper.

Thirty-three-year-old Montoya, who now races in NASCAR, believes the Maranello based team will be busy making Schumacher's F60 as quick as possible.

"I am sure they will be developing some new parts for his comeback in order to guarantee that he looks good," Montoya said.

Meanwhile, Schumacher is expected to return to the wheel of a two-year-old Ferrari this week as he continues to train for his return.

The German will test the F2007 at Ferrari's own Mugello circuit in Italy on Tuesday and Wednesday, his spokeswoman Sabine Kehm told the Associated Press.
