Mick Schumacher is the third rookie of the 2015 season

German Formula 4 got a new champion. This became Marvin Dienst, who won the title two races before the end of the season. Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher, certainly received the most attention in the series. The German recorded his first victory in only three races in his first season, but later he was quite inconsistent, and he often got involved in collisions with other racers. Although he was considered one of the best rookies at the start of the season, he was overtaken by David Beckmann and Mike David Ortmann at the end.

When Michael Schumacher married his then-girlfriend Corinna Betsch in 1995, some wondered if any of his potential sons would follow in his successful racing footsteps.
