Mick Schumacher is speeding up on his road to Formula 1.
The 19-year-old son of seven-time world champion Michael is enjoying a resurgence in the highly-competitive European F3 series, with three recent wins putting him fourth in the championship.
Newspaper Kolner Express suggests that Schumacher's next step will be into the F1 support category Formula 2.
The report says that he could sign up with the top team ART, which is run by Nicolas Todt. Todt's father is FIA president Jean Todt, who is a personal friend of the Schumacher family.
The publication adds that both Nicolas and Jean Todt met up with Schumacher at Monza last weekend.
Another option for Schumacher is DTM, according to German newspaper Bild.
The report says that he will test a German touring car series machine during the forthcoming DTM and F3 race weekend at the Nurburgring.
