Mick S꧅chumacher is expecting a “special” and “thrilling” experience when he gets the chance to complete a demonstration run in his father’s Ferrari F2004 Formu♔la 1 car at Hockenheim.

Ahead of this weekend’s German Grand Prix, Schumacher, the son of seven-tim💯e F1 world champion Michael, will drive his father’s title-winning car from the 2004 season for a special demo run.

With no Formula 2 round at Hockenheim, Schumacher - who currently sits 14th in the 2019 standings during his rookie campaign - can focus attentions on thrilling his h🐲ome crowd in the car that took his father to his seventh and 🐈final world title triumph.

"I think it will be special," Schumacher said.

"I have a lot of good memories of Hockenheim, particularly from winning the Formula 3 European Championship there last yeaꦫr, and to drive this car around there on a Grand Prix weekend is pretty amazing.

"I’m a🍒lready very excited. I just hope everybody will have as much fun as I꧅ will.

"Since the F2004 was such a dominant c♏ar it will be thrilling for me to find out how it feels to drive it," he added.

"It’s going 🎶to be exciting to experience the power of the engine, and I am very curious to understand how c💖ars from that era feel on track."

Reigning European Formula 3 champion Schumacher, who is a Ferrari Driver Academy member, previously got to taste some of his father’s older F1 machinery at the 2017 Belgian Grand Pr🌠ix, when he drove Michael’s 1994 Benetton B194 around Spa-Francorchamps.

"I would have loved to be able to do some preparation laps but unfortunately I just will have to wait and see," Schumacher explained.

"We’ll do a sea🌟t fitting on Saturday morning of 🌞the race weekend but I am sure it will work out fine.

"In the end, it will be demo-laps for pleasure, and I would really like to thank the owner of the car and Ferrari for giving me the opportunity."

Asked if he had any partic⛦ular memories of his dad driving the F2004, Schumacher replied: “To 💯be honest I don’t.

“Obviously I know what he achieved in the F2004 and that he won the German Grand Prix that year but I think I was to𒈔o young to take it in.

“I’ve seen the highlights but I have to admit I don’t really have any memories of it. I more 🙈recall our races at home in the garden!”
