Mattia Binotto has praised Mick Schumacher and has compared him to his father Michael Schumacher. Mick has tested for Ferrari and is currently racing in Formula 2 and seems to have impressed the powers be at the Formula 1 team. Although it is uncertain, a Formula 1 future looks almost certain for the youngster. 

"His behaviour reminds me of his father," Binotto said to Bild.De. "The approach is quite similar, the way he deals with the car I saw it the first time I saw it in Maranello."

"He listened well, did not chase the limit, but slowly increased lap after lap, which is the most important thing on such a day."

Some will feel that linking the young Schumacher to his father paces too much pressure on Mick. He seems to be a very intelligent man and has handled the press and talk of his father very well so far. 

We will have to see if he makes it into Formula 1 but he is set to test for Ferrari again in the near future.
