If you watch Formula 1 racing at all, you may wonder at the superhuman talent of these young drivers. Lewis Hamilton, for example, won the British karting championship at age 10 and became a Formula 1 driver at the age of 22. But at some point, he had to make like the rest of us and get a driver’s license just to get around. Now it’s Mick Schumacher’s turn.

The 18-year-old Formula 3 racecar driver has plenty of karting and Formula 4 podium finishes to boast about, but he still has to prove his driving ability on the road. Mercedes-Benz finds humor in this circumstance and has filmed a series of videos portraying Mick’s driving lessons.
We look forward to following Mick’s racing career- we expect to see him join the ranks of Formula 1 in the next couple years. Congratulations on your driver’s license, Mick, and don’t forget to use your turn signals!
