‘He has Michael’s racing genes’ — Schumi Jr soars

Mick Schumacher is tipped to carry the famous surname into Formula One as the newly crowned European Formula Three champion finished the season with his 14th podium placing yesterday.

The 19-year-old son of stricken Formula One legend Michael Schumacher took second in the final race of the 2018 season at Germany’s Hockenheim circuit. Having already been confirmed European F3 champion on Saturday, Schumacher finished the last race of 2018 behind his Prema teammate Robert Shwartzman for his 14th podium place in the 30-race season, with seven wins. “Mick has the racing genes of Michael,” said Gerhard Berger, boss of the German Touring Car championship. “If he can continue to deliver performances like these, then he will find his way into Formula One.” Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport declared there is an “heir to the Schumacher dynasty” — 14 years after Michael Schumacher’s last F1 world title and 28 years after he was crowned German F3 champions, at two years older than Mick is now.
