Mick Schumacher claims first F2 win in Hungary

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, won the first Formula 2 race of his career on Sunday at the Hungaroring.

Starting from reverse-grid pole position, Schumacher led the race from start to finish to win on the same circuit that witnessed four of his father's 91 grand prix victories.

Although Sunday's sprint race carries fewer points than Saturday's feature race, the win is something of a breakthrough for Schumacher who has not finished on the podium all year in his debut season in F1's feeder series.

"It feels great," he said.
