The reigning European Formula 3 champion and son of seven-time F1 title victor Michael Schumacher made his F1 test debut in Bahrain on Tuesday, driving for Ferrari.
Because in F1 testing, we don't know how light each vehicle is on fuel, or what engine modes it's running, we can't directly compare Mick Schumacher to the rest of the F1 field, but there's no doubt that jumping into a unusual and advanced racing auto and pumping in a time only 2.11sec slower than Charles Leclerc's pole position effort is nothing short of impressive.
Schumacher's rival from last year's F3 championship, Dan Ticktum, made his F1 test debut in the Red Bull.

"The SF90 is incredible because of the power it has, but it is also smooth to drive, and that's why I enjoyed myself so much", said Schumacher.
