One name synonymous with the world of Formula One is undoubtedly Schumacher. A name that signifies dominance, class, talent, dedication and glory. All of which are qualities of perhaps the greatest Formula One driver in the history of the sport, Michael Schumacher. Being a legend has a lot of perks, but it’s not without its disadvantages. Anyone else with the same name will have a truckload of expectations on their shoulders, especially if they go into the same profession.
Some live up to the expectations, most do not. Such is the cruel world of sport, and especially Formula One, that an athlete is judged not by their skills, but by that of their parents and how they compare to that. However, if Mick Schumacher’s performances in F3 and F2 are anything to go by, the Schumacher legacy is not dead just yet.
