Jean Todt to attend Mick Schumacher's F4 debut at Spa
FIA president Jean Todt will be present as Mick Schumacher, racing with a broken hand, makes his German Formula 4 debut at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend.
FIA president Jean Todt is set to watch Mick Schumacher compete in German Formula 4 at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend, as the 16-year-old makes his debut at the Belgian circuit closely associated with his father, Michael Schumacher.
Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher, continues his first year in single-seaters in the ADAC Formula 4 series. Despite racing with a broken hand, he will take on the challenging Spa circuit, which holds deep personal and sporting significance for the Schumacher family. Michael Schumacher made his Formula One debut at Spa in 1991, took his maiden grand prix win there in 1992, and clinched his record seventh world title at the circuit in 2004.
Jean Todt, who worked closely with Michael Schumacher during their time at Ferrari, will be present to support Mick at the circuit. Spa-Francorchamps has honoured Michael Schumacher in the past, granting him honorary citizenship in 2012. This weekend marks the next step in the younger Schumacher’s career as he races at a venue so closely linked to his father’s legacy.
