Mick Schumacher continued the family tradition at the Spa

      Yesterday's 6-hour race at Spa, the third stage of the WEC season, ended with a winning double by the Ferrari factory team, and we talked about it – as well as the fact that the Alpine crew, which includes Mick Schumacher, took the podium.

      It is important to note that this is the second podium in a row for Mick and his teammates, and only the third during the German rider's performances in the WEC, i.e. he and his crew are gradually gaining momentum. In June, they will have to go to the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where, of course, the Renault factory team really wants to distinguish themselves.

      Everyone who followed the events of yesterday's race couldn't help but notice how confident Mick was driving the A524 hypercar, including at the final stage of the race when he was catching up with Ferrari No. 50, even though the tires on the Alpine were already extremely worn out. In the end, Schumacher finished less than a second behind Niklas Nielsen.

      For the Schumacher family, this was the 10th such achievement at the famous Belgian track in World Championship-level racing: Michael, Mick's father, reached the podium there 9 times, including six victories in the Belgian Grand Prix.

      The last time Schumacher Sr. won this race with Ferrari was in 2002, and the last time he finished in the top three there was in 2004. Now Mick has continued this tradition by climbing the podium with his Alpine Endurance Team mates. And if you remember that Ralf Schumacher was second at Spa in 1998, when he rode for Jordan, and third in 2000, having already become a Williams racer, it turns out that representatives of this racing dynasty have already won a dozen podiums on this track.
