It looks like another motor racer is born from the bloodline of the great Schumacher! While his father, World Champion Formula One racer Michael Schumacher, is in bed recovering in Switzerland after a serious skiing accident back in December 2013, Mick Schumacher is impressing the crowd at the recently-concluded F4 race in Germany.

Yahoo! Sports News reports that the racer's 16-year-old son has finished ninth, then proceeded to end in sixth place at the Nuerburgring circuit Formula Four series in Germany last Saturday. Together with his mother and sister, and uncle Ralf Schumacher, who is an ex-Formula One racer himself and the commentator at the F4 race, the young Schumacher showed his opponents how it's done the Schumacher way.

Mick will be on the starting line this Sunday for the third race because F4 follows a reversed grid regulation although Marvin Dienst has won both races that day, 3 News Australia writes. This will boost the chances of the young driver, who races for the Dutch company Van Amersfoort Racing.

Mick is currently holding the 13th place for the drivers' overall table with 10 more races left for the first season of F4. If he wins the race on Sunday, it'll add to his debut victory at Oschersleben, which he won during the start of the season in April.

In related news, Mick's sister, Gina Schumacher, has also recently rode at the FEI European Championships in Germany, where she compete with her horse "Sharp Dressed Shiner." Their mother, Corinna, has also made a rare appearance as she cheers on her daughter, The Daily Mail UK writes.

Gina has been successful at the Reining Championships for Juniors and Young Riders earlier this year and appears to be set on following her father's footsteps to becoming a sporting success. Either that or she has also gotten her riding genes from her mother, who is a known host of the large tournament in Switzerland every year.

The Strait Times writes that according to Sabine Kehm, Gina's manager said that Michael's daughter is very honored to participate in the championship and had lots of fun while doing it. This only made her coach, Nico Hoermann, more proud because Gina's performance has made her rank as of the world's top junior riders and considers her one of the greatest talents he has ever coached.

Apparently, both children are in determined condition to make their father proud. Millions of fans continue to pray for the successful recovery of Michael Schumacher.
