Getting familiar with the group...
Ferrari said Wednesday in a statement that the German had agreed to get back in the cockpit until Massa is fit to return.
Schumacher said: "Though it is true that the Formula One chapter has long been closed for me, it is also true that for team loyalty reasons I cannot ignore that unfortunate situation."
The 40-year-old German driver, who had 91 wins in 250 Formula One starts, still acts as a consultant for the Italian team.
Since retiring in 2006, Schumacher has raced occasionally in a motorcycle series but he was injured in a crash in February and is not believed to have raced since.
The 28-year-old Massa was hit in the helmet by a loose part from another car and crashed into a protective tire barrier at 120 mph during qualifying Saturday at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
