Mick Schumacher climbs to the top for the first time

The 21-year-old from the Prema team took fifth place on Saturday and also benefited from the bad luck of his competitors: the previous overall leader Callum Ilott (Uni-Virtuosi Racing) missed the points in twelfth place due to damage to the front wing. Schumacher's teammate Robert Schwarzman (Russia) had to park his car due to technical problems. With seven races to go, the German is now at the top. Schumacher (153 points) leads just ahead of Ilott (149) and Schwarzman (140), meaning three Ferrari juniors are fighting for the title in the Formula 1 substructure. The sprint race will take place in Mugello on Sunday (11.55 a.m.), Schumacher will start from fourth place and therefore well ahead of his two competitors. Last Saturday in Monza, Schumacher celebrated his first victory in a Formula 2 main race. The chance of another top result in Mugello initially disappeared in qualifying. The son of Formula 1 record world champion Michael Schumacher only took 15th place on the grid. With his strong performances over the past few weeks, Schumacher is putting himself in position for promotion to the premier motorsport class next year. The young Ferrari driver was recently promised test drives for Alfa Romeo this year.
