Michael Shumacher's son Mick claims European Formula Three title

Mick Schumacher, the 19-year-old son of seven-times Formula One world champion Michael, won the European Formula Three title at Hockenheim on Saturday with a race to spare.

Second place in the day's second race was enough to secure the German's first junior championship with an unbeatable 347 points.

It also qualifies him to race in Formula One next season, although there are few vacant seats available and the next obvious step would be Formula Two.

Previous winners of the series, which has evolved over the years, include four-times F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, who drives for Mercedes.
