Schumacher:
my son will never race
The son of Michael Schumacher will never get a
chance at driving racing cars when the time comes, according to his Double World Champion father.
Mick Schumacher, who was born last year, will be steered away from the
dangers of motorsport and into safer sports such as Golf or tennis
should he try sport as a career said Schumacher Snr this week.
'I actually must not think about seeing him in a racing car,' said the
31-year-old. 'I don't want him to become my successor.
'When children choose for the same hobby as their father, I would
probably start golfing. That's a relatively safe sport.'
Schumacher attributed the pressures placed on sons with famous fathers
as a burden for his own child, and another reason why he wanted him to keep
away from the cockpit.
'We have seen these problems with Jacques Villeneuve, Damon Hill and
many other (drivers) who followed their father's footsteps.
'Life was made very difficult for them.'
