Schumacher half-brother looking for racing action

SEBASTIAN STAHL, Michael and Ralf Schumacher's half brother (but not by blood), is trying to get a serious racing career going in Germany. The 23-year-old has been contesting junior races in Germany but is now trying to get further up the ladder and hopes to be in Formula Renault next year. Stahl hopes that his wealthy half-brothers will come to his rescue to help him raise the budget necessary.

Stahl is the son of Rolf Schumacher's new partner, Michael and Ralf's father having split with their mother some years ago. Genetically-speaking therefore there is no connection - although money can do a lot in motor racing.
