Mick Schumacher has set the second fastest time in a Ferrari at the official Bahrain test.
The 20-year-old son of Formula One legend Michael Schumacher completed 56 laps on his first outing with his father’s former team.
Schumacher said he found Ferrari’s 2019 car “incredible because of the power it has but it is also smooth to drive”.
Mick also added that “it felt like home in the garage from the first moment, with a lot of people that have known me since I was very young”.
Mick’s seven-time Formula One World Champion father was left with a traumatic brain injury after crashing on a high-speed slope during a holiday in 2013.
Michael’s wife Corinna has issued a rare statement in January about his health on the eve of his 50th birthday, assuring fans the family are doing everything in their power to “help him” recover.
“You can be sure that he is in the very best of hands and that we are doing everything humanly possible to help him,” the statement read.
“Please understand if we are following Michael’s wishes and keeping such a sensitive subject as health, as it has always been, in privacy,” it continued.
“At the same time we say thank you very much for your friendship and wish you a healthy and happy year 2019.”
