Ahead of last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, Mick Schumacher was praying for rain, insisting he could perhaps rely on the elements to try and snatch a good result.

Unfortunately, Schumacher got more than his bargained for as the horrendous conditions led to a veritable debacle on Sunday.

But Spa's proximity to Kerpen and to the Schumacher family's karting track, where Mick's famous father first learned his chops, encouraged the Haas rookie to put some mileage under his belt before moving on to Zandvoort next weekend, where hopefully clement skies await.
