Mick Schumacher brings on the goose bumps at Spa!

Mick Schumacher paid an emotional tribute took to his father at Spa, lapping the track at the wheel of Michael Schumacher's 1994 title winning Benetton-Ford B194.

The sight of the 18-year-old and the sounds of the vintage racer were more than enough to bring on goose bumps for a cheering and thrilled crowd.

The demo run celebrated the 25th anniversary of Michael Schumacher's first Grand Prix career win, achieved at Spa in 1992.

For the occasion, Mick sported a special 50:50 helmet design, with one half painted in his own colors and the other half in his father's colors.

Mick has actually tested the car two weeks ago at Spa in preparation for today's run. Needless to say, he was swamped by the media and curious members of the F1 community who were also thrilled to witness the young hopefuls honorary run.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
