Second place was enough in the penultimate race of the season, the 19-year-old can compete in the last race on Sunday (10.05:XNUMX a.m.). ) can no longer be intercepted.

The premiere title should only be an intermediate step on the way to Formula 1. Because promotion to the premier class is the declared goal of the teenager, who only celebrated his first Formula 3 victory at the end of July in Spa, in his father's “living room”.

On Saturday afternoon, Estonian Jüri Vips won ahead of Schumacher and his compatriot Ralf Aron. Schumacher's mother Corinna and his sister Gina-Maria celebrated in the stands. The Brit Daniel Ticktum, who could have threatened Schumacher's title win, started from 15th place and only finished seventh.

Schumacher has won eight of 29 races so far. After initial problems in his second Formula 3 season, the young German has been the outstanding driver in the field since the summer. In the second half of the season he dominated the action.

For the young man with the biggest name in motorsport, jumping into Formula 2 next season would now be the logical step.
