Michael Schumacher has made another attempt at anonymity for his nine-year-old son, as Mick Schumacher - already nicknamed 'Quick Mick' by the German press - embarks on a karting career.

After making his racing debut with the pseudonym Mick Betsch in Spain recently, Schumacher's youngster has now raced in Germany under the name Mika Krauthausen, the Cologne newspaper Express reports.

Mick was competing at his father's own Kerpen circuit in the 'Bambini Challenge'.

'Mika Krauthausen' - perhaps a nod to Schumacher's preferred F1 adversary Mika Hakkinen - reportedly moved from 25th to 13th in one race and from 13th to fifth in the second.
