MICK SCHUMACHER

I would always compare myself with the best, and my dad is the best, and he's my idol, too.

I'm very happy to work with Prema and work in F2 because I have the feeling in some ways, it's a bit more difficult to drive and to work with the tyres than F1.

As it seems, Spa is a good venue for the Schumacher family.

What my dad did was extraordinary. I appreciate it more every day.

We never stop working and learning.

Trying to find the limit of yourself and the limit of the car and sometimes to exceed it and see the real limit - if you find that sweet spot and are able to repeat it, it is one of the best feelings.

We have a lot of people in F1 who went through F3, and it is a point where you can show what you've got.

I prefer going, training, on the bike and to the gym, which is, for me, also very good on the mental side. I don't have the feeling I need to do online racing.

Having the support I have from a lot of people all over the world can't be a bad thing. I am thankful for that.

I am the son of my dad, and I am happy that I am.

I was three years old. I had a go-kart that my dad had on a leash so I would not go too quick.

The first impressions I had from Ferrari was very heart-opening, welcoming me in a family which was always part of my family.

It is more than obvious that Ferrari has a big place in my heart since I was born and, also, in the hearts of our family.

I can learn very much from Ferrari because they have so much experience, and I will want to work with them to achieve the maximum I can.

There's no one person I can talk to and try and be as him - but the one person I want to is my dad.

It is my goal to be world champion.

Being compared to my father was never a problem for me.

I don't do any sim at home or whatever. If I do, it's with the team, which is a proper preparation for me.

My dad had a huge influence on my career.

Many world champions compare themselves to my father.

Being compared to the best driver in F1 history is the goal you want to achieve, and to have that as my idol and father is very special.

I'm hugely proud to be able to work with Ferrari - such a great team and huge amount of history, especially combined with my dad. I'm really proud to be able to be part of it. All our hearts are very red.

Already in go-karts, I said, 'OK, that's what I really want to do professionally as a career, as a job.'

There's obviously a lot of drivers that are in F1 because they're one of the best drivers out there, so I can learn from everyone.

F3 is an important step for that, and the next step has to be Formula 2, but my goal is to step up and show what I can do.
