Schumacher follows in father's footsteps with historic drive

Mick Schumacher experienced his father Michael's first F1 machinery at Silverstone taking the Jordan 191 for a drive.

Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher made his F1 debut at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix in what would be a one-off appearance driving the iconic green and blue Jordan.

After qualifying seventh, Schumacher was unable to complete a lap of the Spa Francorchamps circuit after a clutch problem forced his retirement.

On Tuesday, Mick shared this early F1 experience of his fathers in a piece for an upcoming Sky Sports F1 feature.
