Karting is part of the training program of Michael Schumacher, and the German champion is currently in Lonato, at the South Garda track, driving karts with his son.

Early February, the German star will begin his third season with Mercedes AMG since he made his return to F1.

According to our friends at Italiaracing.net, Michael Schumacher carried out some long series of runs, yesterday, Thursday, aboard KZ and KF2 karts provided by the Tony Kart team.

The best international drivers were on location to prepare the next Winter Cup, which will be held at this track on February.

The seven-time world champion set lap times that were close to those set by the best; even close to the track record it is rumoured.

Michael Schumacher's son, nicknamed "Quick Mick" was also in action, driving a KF3 kart.

Mick Schumacher has already contested several races in Germany and Spain, and he will make his debut in this category with the Tony Kart team as well.
