Mick Schumacher has even tested the 2019 Ferrari car 

"Of course I use some of my father's tips - even from my karting days," says the 21-year-old Schumacher to RTL. 

"At the same time, we are obviously different people and had different experiences in the junior classes. And you have to drive the cars differently today too. We have a Formula 2 car that weighs 780 kilos, the cars back then weighed 500 kilos. But nevertheless, of course, there are some similarities," added the young German who is highly fancied for an F1 seat in 2021 with the Haas team.
