Belgium - Another Schumacher is well on the road to Formula 1.

Already, great hype and attention is surrounding the rise of F1 legend Michael Schumacher's 18-year-old son Mick, who is currently in European F3.

It now emerges that Michael's brother Ralf also has a son on the path to F1, with David Schumacher set to move from karts to German Formula 4.

David (16) will drive for his father's own team US Racing in 2018. "I was happy with my first test," Mick Schumacher's cousin said, according to Germany's Auto Bild.

This weekend's 2017 Belgium Grand Prix will mark the 25th anniversary of the seven-time world champion's first Formula 1 victory.

David Schumacher:

Mick Schumacher:

Skiing accident

Michael Schumacher, 48, has not been seen in public since suffering serious head injuries in a skiing accident in 2013.

After two world titles with Benetton in 1994 and 1995, the German won five in a row with Ferrari from 2000 to 2004, then retired in 2006 before making a comeback with Mercedes, but could not repeat his earlier success.
