Mick Schumacher not feeling the pressure over his famous surname – "I only see benefits"

Mick Schumacher said he "can only see the benefits" of being the son of arguably Formula 1's greatest ever driver.

The German racer naturally is the focus of extra attention from fans and the media as a result of his surname. But that doesn't mean he hasn't earned his place in the sport on merit, winning the European F3 title before becoming champion in his second season in Formula 2.

Asked by reporters if he believes he is under additional pressure as a result of his family ties, he replied: "No, not that I know [of]. I'm sure that it has benefits and negatives, but I only see the benefits of it. I'm proud to be representing that name and to be able to show what I'm able to do."
