Michael Schumacher's Son Testing A Formula 4 Car?

By Rajkamal

Formula One legend Michael Schumacher's son, Mick, who is having a successful career Karting, was seen secretly testing a Formula 4 car, according newspaper reports.

Mick, who races under the pseudonym of ‘Mick Junior', is 15 years old now, and no doubt that motorsports is in his blood, a very talented and carefully developed gene that has definitely been passed on to him from his father, Michael Schumacher.

Peter Mucke, the team head says, "Mick is certainly talented, but you cannot say absolutely that a good kart driver will be fast in a formula one car."

"It is no good only having a great name as a driver, you have to be fast. After a day of testing, no assessment of Mick is possible yet."

Newspaper reports suggest that this could be a possible trial for Mick on a Formula 4 car before he makes a debut in 2016, with few more Karting seasons to go.

Manager Sabine Kehm on the other hand, refused to comment anything about 15 year old Mick, secretly testing a Formula 4 car.

Mick, son of the seven time world champion, Schumacher, in September finished second in the FIA KF Junior World Championship, the highest level of Junior Karting in the World.
