Ralf admits son, 9, could follow wheel-tracks
"How could a father who has lived that world forbid his son?"
Ralf Schumacher has admitted his son could be on the road to becoming a third member of his family to win in formula one.
The Cologne tabloid Express publish photographs of 9-year-old David Schumacher, the nephew of seven time world champion Michael, at the wheel of a competitive go-kart.
Michael’s 12-year-old son Mick also races go-karts: "Let’s see where Mick himself wants to take it," Mercedes driver Schumacher, 42, said a few years ago.
David races for the team headed by Schumacher-discoverer Gerhard Noack, who also spotted Sebastian Vettel’s talent many years ago.
Said Ralf: "Whether he wants to do motor racing seriously one day, I leave it to him. I will support him completely even though it’s a hard world full of tough people.
"How could a father who has lived that world forbid his son?"
David’s mother Cora added: "I am really happy that he has found a sport he really likes. He often follows the races with Ralf.
"We’ll have to see if he has the same passion for it in the coming years."
