Anyone knows which series he's participating in? I checked the entry lists in the KZ category of the WSK master series. He's absent from that list.The first round got over on feb 3rd.

Has anyone else not thought of Michael's kid who is also karting? I have no doubt he is doing this for his son as well, grooming him if you will :D

I doubt its grooming, rather just dad and son having fun together.

yea! he's close to Ferrari :lol: (just kidding) but to be honest i don't believe to much in Mick (will be awesome to see another Schumacher in F1 but i don't think it's quite possible)

Exactly what I was thinking!

I thought after those tough 3 years at Merc he would take a long break from motorsport but its good to see hes still got the drive to be competitive.

I think its great he is giving back to grass roots racing, most of the kids would of heard stories from their Families about Schumacher, Senna, Juan Manuel Fangio, Nigel Mansell, James Hunt etc and would see this as a boost in their possibly long journey through motorsports! :)
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

He should quit trying to compete, and certainly in the karts where his palce can be filled by some young talent with a future, instead of wasting a place just because he wants to have fun.

No offence to anyone, but he should just accept that he had his time, and give the younger drivers their chance for glory.
If the attitude in this post is reflective of your attitude to life as a whole, I feel quite sorry for you actually, it must not be a very fulfilling existence.
