Schumacher Jr in F4
Mick Schumacher generated huge media interest as the teenage son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher began official testing before his Formula Four Junior Series debut.
Cameras followed the 16-year-old wherever he went at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, as he tested with Team Van Amersfoort of Netherlands.
Schumacher Jnr is set to make his junior series debut in the season opener on April 26.
Schmacher Jnr was seventh in the first testing session when "25 SCM" flashed on the results monitors, but improved in the second to end up fifth, nearly two seconds behind the leader.
"His family name carries a unique brand of pressure on this first rung of motor racing," said Sabine Kehm, Michael Schumacher's manager and confidant for the last 15 years.
“Of course, you instantly think of Formula One when you hear the name Schumacher," added Kehm.
