Career
Schumacher started his motorsport career in 2008. To avoid attention because of his famous father, he started his career under the pseudonym 'Mick Betsch', using the maiden name of his mother.
Karting
In 2011 and 2012 Schumacher drove in the KF3 class of the ADAC Kart Masters, ending in 9th and 7th respectively. In the Euro Wintercup of the KF3 class he was 3rd in 2011 and 2012 and in 2012 was 3rd in the KF3 Rating DMV Kart Championship.

In 2014 Schumacher used the name 'Mick Junior', and started in International and National Junior Championships, ending the season 2nd in the German Junior Kart Championship as well as in the European and World Championships. Although he did not race in karting under his real surname, his successes in karting were picked up by the international press.
ADAC Formula 4
At the end of 2014 he completed test drives for Jenzer Motorsport in a Formula 4 racing car. In 2015 Schumacher started racing in formula classes for the first time, racing for Van Amersfoort Racing in the ADAC Formula 4, using the Schumacher name. In 2016 Schumacher remained in ADAC Formula 4 but switched to Prema Powerteam, a team known for its close links to the Ferrari Driver Academy.
