FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Michael Schumacher’s 15-year-old son Mick has outgrown kart racing and is moving up to Formula 4, a series for young talents.
The young Schumacher has signed a contract with Van Amersfoort Racing to drive in the Formula 4.
“We have watched his skills in test driving and are looking forward to a successful season,” the Dutch team’s owner Frits van Amersfoort said on Monday.
The son of the most successful driver in Formula One history got his racing start in the same kart series as his famous father, who honed his skills on a circuit near the family’s home before moving on to Formula 3 and later Formula One glory.
Michael Schumacher suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in December 2013. He was retired at the time of the accident. He is still recovering at his Swiss home after spending months in hospital.
With seven titles, Schumacher is the most successful Formula One driver in history and also holds many other records in the series. His brother Ralf was also a Formula One driver and is still involved with motor sport.
