BARCELONA, Spain -- Mick Schumacher says there is no driver he wishes to emulate other than his father, Michael, a man he appreciates more every day.
The younger Schumacher, 20, got his first taste of Formula One machinery earlier this year in a Ferrari test after the Bahrain Grand Prix, the team his father won five world championships with at the start of the 2000s. His father is statistically the best driver to have raced in F1, retiring with seven titles and 91 career victories.
He has been watching old racing clips as part of his preparation for this season and he admits this process has helped him understand the scale of what Michael achieved.
