Mick Schumacher is doing a double F4 campaign, Germany and Italy.
http://www.pitpass.com/55834/Mick-Sc...many-and-Italy



Mick Schumacher is to contest the opening rounds of both the German and Italian F4 championships.

The German, son of seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher, will contest the first race of the Italian series in Misano this weekend, then the opening round of the German series at Oschersleben a week later.

According to his manager, Sabine Kehm, he will drive in both championships in the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the ability to gain experience. He will then, at a not yet defined stage of the season, decide if he will continue in both championships or concentrate on one.

In February it was confirmed that Mick had signed to the Prema Powerteam, having scored a win, a third place and several top ten finishes in the 2015 championship.

"I am proud to welcome Mick Schumacher to our team," said Prema team principal, Angelo Rosin. "As a driver, he is showcasing a constantly-improving potential and he already has a one-year experience in Formula 4. At his maiden season in single seaters, he quickly showed he has all what it takes to aim for the top.

Prema enjoys close links with Ferrari, though it is understood talk of Schumacher becoming part of the Maranello outfit's driver academy is somewhat premature.

However, a promotional video released by his team and featuring teammates Juri Vips and Juan Manuel Correa brings back memories of his father, alongside Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger in the early 90s when they drove for the Sauber Mercedes Sportscar team.

watched one do a flyby at sun n fun in 1992. was more of a fly by and then straight to vertical with double afterburners. every child was crying. it was so offensive and glorious. my ears hurt with my fingers stuck in them. the ground shook, windows broke, several pregnant women went into premature labor right there on the spot. one man's glass eyeball shattered. the runway had to be shutdown for repairs. a small brush fire was started at the point he pulled up. some say hurricane Andrew was caused by the fury.

all of the premature babies are fine and i'm a penpal with one to this day.

OT but am I the only one that thinks whoever thought up the Renault engine being "rebadged" as a Tag Heuer has probably been fired as a result of the worst, most failedest marketing attempt ever?

I assume it was meant to do two things:

1) Distance Renaults name from Redbull
2) Make Tag Heuer sound like they did a thing.

Well at least on NBC, EVERY SINGE time they talk about the Redbull PU, they say "The re-badged Renault engine". Or "The Renault-made, Tag Heuer branded power unit"... In Bahrain, Hobbs twice just said "The Renault engine" or "Renault Powered".

Just seems ridiculous. It would be like if there was a re-branded iphone that claimed to be made by Pepsi. No one would call it the Pepsi phone, and everyone would know its an iphone.

As Tim said...it used to be done all the time.

Some examples:
Petronas V10...rebadged Ferrari 1997-2005


Mecachrome/Playlife/Supertec...rebadged Renault 1998-2000


Acer...rebadged Ferrari 2001


Asiatech...rebadged Peugeot 2001-2002

Well if i was Renault i wouldn't want Red Bull to be powered by my engine. Red Bull were bashing Renault all the time for doing so poorly in 2015. However, Renault couldn't leave Red Bull without an engine so the solution was to rebrand the engine into something else. Red Bull were so ungrateful when bashing Renault like that last year. They seem to forget all the success they had with them.

I would like to ad NBC sucks *****, so I don't expect them to get anything right during the broadcast.

Red Bull complained, but it seems they know how to build a chassis. I'd say it's safe to say that the Renault PU was a POS. Not GP2 POS but a POS none the less.
