Schumacher’s son impresses on F4 debut

Michael Schumacher’s 16-year-old son Mick collected the trophy for the best rookie on his motor racing debut on Saturday after finishing ninth in a German Formula Four race.

The teenager, whose seven- times Formula One world champion father suffered severe head injuries in a 2013 skiing accident and is being cared for at home in Switzerland, had qualified 19th for the race at Oschersleben.

The award for the best rookie, in the first of three races scheduled for the German track this weekend, allowed him to join the top three finishers on the podium and spray the champagne with them.
