Ralf's son David joins Mick Schumacher on F1 support bill

Ralf Schumacher's son David will race in the Formula 3 season finale in Sochi this weekend, meaning two Schumachers will compete on the support bill for the Russian Grand Prix.

David Schumacher has been drafted in to replace the injured Alex Peroni, who was injured when his Campos Racing car was launched into the air by a kerb during a race at Monza earlier this month. The Australian driver suffered a fractured vertebrae in the incident and is currently in a period of rest.

David's cousin Mick, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, the most successful driver in F1 history, is currently in his rookie season of Formula 2.
