SILVERSTONE, England : It took a while but Mick Schumacher finally collected a first points finish of his Formula One career with an eighth place at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, easing some of the mounting pressure on the son of seven-time world champion Michael.
While it took his father two races to register his first points finish at the 1991 Italian Grand Prix driving for Benetton, Mick finally made it on his 31st attempt with the accomplishment applauded by others drivers, including world championship leader Max Verstappen. Schumacher's first points could not have come at a better time with whispers in the pit lane that the 23-year-old German, despite his pedigree, could be dropped after a run of crashes and poor finishes.
Points looked on the cards at May's Miami Grand Prix until he crashed with his mentor Sebastian Vettel four laps from the finish while challenging for ninth.
