Mick Schumacher wins F2 race at Monza

Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, won his first Formula 2 race of 2020 at Monza on Saturday, moving him three points off the lead of the championship.

The Monza circuit, hosting this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, is synonymous, the team Michael won five of his world championships and the majority of his 91 career races with.

Schumacher started from seventh on the grid after crashing out of qualifying on Saturday, but made a remarkable start to move up to second by the first corner. He then benefited from race leader Callum Illot stalling in the pits , allowing Schumacher to move into the net lead following his own pit stop.
