Former F1 driver Gerhard Berger believes Mick Schumacher is a chip off the old paternal block as he watches the young charger's career unfold in the junior levels of motorsport.
The FIA F3 European Championship in which Schumacher competes was included on the German DTM bill at Misano last weekend, a series currently managed by Berger.
The former Ferrari and McLaren driver witnessed 19-year-old's successful efforts in Race 1 last Saturday, and was impressed with what he saw.
"The guy suddenly shows the Schumacher genes," Berger told Auto Bild.
"He has developed and is showing some rough edges."
The young Schumacher - racing for Prema - conquered his third win last weekend in the ultra-competitive F3 championship and currently stands fourth in the series' standings with nine races to go.
"I hope it goes on like this. Everything is open to him," Berger added. "Everyone would be happy if Mick steps in his father's footsteps."
