Kovalainen eyes Schumacher guru Balbir Singh

Heikki Kovalainen is considering teaming up with Michael Schumacher’s former fitness guru.

Turun Sanomat newspaper reports that the Lotus driver has split with his physiotherapist Petri Lehikoinen.

The report said Schumacher proposed that Kovalainen start working with Indian Balbir Singh instead, whose last job in F1 was alongside Giancarlo Fisichella at Force India.

Kovalainen reportedly met with Singh in Barcelona on Thursday.

"Singh is one of the candidates but I haven’t decided what to do," he said.

FORMULA ONE ACE TRAINS WITH BULLS

Bradford Bulls had a surprise guest training with them in Lanzarote; Australian Formula One star, Mark Webber

Webber is a big League fan back in his native Australia and follows the Raiders. He is a friend of current Bulls Scrum Half Marc Herbert and caught up with the boys at their Lanzarote training camp.

Bulls Coach Mick Potter said:

"We just met him by chance. Mark was at La Santa doing some personal fitness work and he already knew Marc Herbert because he's a big Canberra fan. The training regime he's been doing is pretty intense. He trains more like a tri-athlete than a rugby player and although he's 6ft 3in, he only weighs 70kg.

He reminded me he was a Ball Boy at Canberra when I was still playing so that made me feel really old. Apparently he was quite an old ball boy at the time but I think he just said that to make me feel better!!

He loves Rugby League and he's going to pay a little bit more attention to Super League because he knows a few of the players over here now."
