Schumacher's son wins twice on Italy bow

Mick Schumacher, the 17-year-old son of stricken Formula One legend Michael Schumacher, won two races on his Italian Formula 4 debut at Misano on Saturday.

Racing for the Prema Powerteam, the teenager won the first event from second on the grid and then swept to victory in the second round despite torrential rain.

Next weekend, the young driver will head back to his native Germany to race in the German F4 tournament at Oschersleben.

Last season, Schumacher finished 10th overall in the German championship.

Former seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher suffered head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013 and spent six months in an induced coma before returning to his home in Switzerland to continue his rehabilitation.
