He was ultimately overshadowed by seven-time world champion brother Michael Schumacher, who is largely considered to be one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time.

Away from F1, Ralf Schumacher also raced in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters for five seasons, before retiring and more recently becoming a pundit and co-commentator during race weekends for Sky Germany.

Ralf Schumacher makes winning return

Now, Schumacher has made a return to racing, alongside his son and Michael Schumacher's nephew David Schumacher.

The 22-year-old is the son of Ralf and Cora Brinkmann, who was married to Schumacher between 2001-2015 and has recently given an explosive interview about her ex-husband's public coming out.

David Schumacher is a racer himself, driving in a variety of different motorsport series including a brief spell following in his father's footsteps in DTM.

Now, the father-son duo have teamed up together to take two victories in the Prototype Cup Germany at the Nurburgring last weekend.

It is unclear whether or not this was the start of a regular racing partnership, but 49-year-old Schumacher took to Instagram to celebrate this wholesome victory.

"An incredible day," he exclaimed.

"A win in the first race. Many thanks to the team for the great car and to all partners who support us 😊."
