Obviously, the prince of Formula 1 is eager to get his hands on to Formula 1 car, but he is patient with his chances and performing well in the F2 championship, where he is one of the contenders to win the title.

“I just want to keep doing my thing, but of course it means something if you are a Formula 2 world champion. It draws attention to you, but there is no such thing as having a seat at the same time,” he said.

Sebastian Vettel’s admiration

Before the start of the Tuscan Grand Prix, Schumacher was supposed to drive a lap in his father’s Ferrari 2004, whilst the 23-year-old was gearing up, Vettel was spotted in the background expressing his admiration for the car.
