Sebastian Vettel thinks Mick Schumacher's first appearance at an F1 event at this weekend's Eifel Grand Prix is the beginning of a long career in the series.
Schumacher, son of seven-time world champion Michael, will drive in the opening practice session at the Nurburgring for Alfa Romeo. The Ferrari academy driver is leading F1's feeder series, Formula 2, and has been linked with a move to the Alfa team for next season.
Four-time world champion Vettel has welcomed the youngster's opportunity.
