David Schumacher is continuing a tradition of sorts this year. After his attempts to move into Formula 2 were stalled by a lack of sponsorship, the 20-year-old cousin of Haas Formula 1 racer Mick became the third member of his esteemed family to race in the DTM by signing for the Winward Mercedes GT3 outfit.
His father Ralf spent five years in the DTM with Mercedes between 2008 and 2012, after a fruitful F1 career that yielded six race wins. He took a best finish of second at the Red Bull Ring in 2011, the year he peaked with eighth in the standings, and twice claimed pole position.
