Ralf Sch𝓰umacher returned to the race track - and returned to winning ways.

The ꦺformer F1 driver was in action alongside his son David Schumacher in the Prototype Cup Germany at the weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday at the Nurburgring, the Schumacher duo were unbeatable and claimed the ꦦtop step o꧟f the podium.

“An incredible day,” Ralf reacted.

David said: “It was such an emotional and successful ♒weekend.

“A dream came true ꦫto be driving with my dad and ha💮ts off to him. Thank you dad that this became real.

“One weekend never to forget!”

Ralf added: “An unforgettable day. Both of us on the podium together, 🍸what an incredible day.”

The father and son duo were m🔴aking a guest ap𝓡pearance at the race.

They set the faste🌳st time in every practice session, and topped quaღlifying.

Ralf and David were behind the wheel of a Lig🌊ier LMP3 prototype.

On Sunday, Davi𓂃d lost pole position before reclaiming it a few laps later.

“The start procedu𓃲re here is a little different to the ADAC GT Masters, in which I usually drive,” David said.

“However, I was able 🔯to retake first place a few laps later. I then focussed on giving my father th💜e biggest lead possible.”

Ralf too🦋k over for the🍃 second home to claim the win, then said: “David did the main job today.”

He later added: “I believe Formula 4 teams like🍃 our US Racing are v𓂃ery professional and know what they are doing. We were excellently prepared. It is important that the car is fast in all conditions, and we achieved that.

“The series, the car and the whole concept are rea🐬l𒁃ly good.”

The ex-F1 driver - and br𓂃other of legend Michael Schumacher - Ralf recently came out publicly as gay.

His son David is a raci💟ng driver while his nephew (and Michae🍸l's son) Mick Schumacher retains a dream of returning to F1.
