"It hasn't worked out yet. Probably I am not consistent enough. But my goal in the next few years is to win, of course," the young Schumacher said via Daily Mail.
He got big shoes to fill with his father being a seven-time F1 champion. However, Schumacher is not one to succumb to pressure.
Going into Formula Three, the younger Schumacher said that "there is no plan" with regard to his career. "For now I'm doing my thing. I still have to prove myself as a driver and improve a bit further," he explained.
Ferrari and Mercedes, however, have shown great interest in working with him, which he believes is an indication that his performance in the race track is something he could be proud of.
"It means that I'm doing something right already. I always try to give my best, I want to compete with the best and they are all in Formula One," he explained.
As for his father, the senior Schumacher is still in rehabilitation after sustaining severe head injuries while he was skiing in the French Alps in 2013.
He is currently in his home surrounded by his family as he makes his journey to recovery. The process will be difficult and grueling, but the Schumacher clan is thankful for the prayers and the support of fans.
