On this day, we wish a happy 25th birthday to Mick Schumacher.

A good set of genes and a famous name set Schumacher's destiny in motion from an early age, with Formula 1 always being the ultimate goal and one that was reached with Haas in 2021.

Michael Schumacher's son, for all the thunder produced by his name, is carving his own path and only time will tell if he can claw his way back on to the F1 grid. For now, he's exercising his talent in the WEC with Alpine.

Mick's talent was perhaps naturally inherited, but this young man's character is very much his own.
