Though compared to other drivers like Sebastian Vettel, Mika Hakkinen, Jamie Chadwick, etc., the young Schumacher isn't the best out there, he still raced in the event and managed to finish in second place. Since the German is now with the Mercedes F1 team as a third driver, their official Twitter account congratulated him for his performance.
