Mick Schumacher drives father's F2004 at Hockenheim

Mick Schumacher revived a chapter of his family's glorious history on Saturday at Hockenheim, taking to the track onboard his father's championship winning Ferrari F2004.

The car is the very prancing horse that Michael Schumacher saddled to win the 2004 German Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion taking his 81st career win in F1 in his home event that year.

Needless to say, the few demo laps run by Mick at the wheel of the screaming V10-powered machine could not have made the local crowd any happier.

Check out our gallery of pictures of the emotional run.
