With nine rounds of the season completed, the standings remain pretty close at the top, with fourth-placed Robert Shwartzman just 21 points adrift of Schumacher.

The young German drove his father’s Championship-winning Ferrari F2004 around Mugello last weekend and has enjoyed a strong season in F2 thus far.
