Mick Schumacher "wouldn’t be the same person" without his father

Mick Schumacher has spoken about the expectation that he feels having Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher as a father. The youngster has impressed so far and has already tested for Ferrari despite only racing in Formula 2 once. It has been reported that Ferrari could be planning to fast track Mick Schumacher into Formula 1 and will hope that he is as successful as his father was.

“I guess I wouldn’t be the person that I am now if it wasn’t for him,” he said. “Obviously we’ve shared quite a few points in karting. It helped me a lot along the way.”

“The goal for me really is to learn as much as possible,” Mick said, “to gather as much experience and then to deliver the best potential and the best performance.”

Schumacher will hope to perform well in Formula 2 this season and will hope that future tests with Ferrari come up in the future.
