English term or phrase: the excellent Peter Lemeberg prodigy

Ich kann mit Teil 3) der folgenden Textstelle nichts anfangen, da ich nicht weiß, was "Timmy Fetherstonhaugh" mit "Peter Lemeberg" (Transkriptionsfehler möglich) bzw. selbiger mit F1 zu tun hat.

1) Timmy Fetherstonhaugh getting an incredible start, he has been struggling all weekend with the boats handling and finally it looks like he has got it together.

2) Robert Sheppard chasing hard after Paul Sheppard and the blue boat in the background is Timmy Fetherstonhaugh.

3) That looks much better from ***the excellent Peter Lemeberg prodigy*** to replaces [sic!] what he is more use to, but he says he wants to be fighting with the pilots upfront.

4) Paul Sheppard takes a turn still in first, Timmy Fetherstonhaugh boat, and just as it was looking good that is going to affect the handling and the air dynamics.

German translation:das hervorragende Ziehkind Peter Lemebergs

Explanation:
So würde ich das verstehen, d.h. er hat seine Sportkunst von Lemeberg gelernt.
Wenn Lemeberg selbst das "prodigy" wäre, dann im Sinne von Wunderknabe/Jungstar/Senkrechstarter - ABER dann müsste es "the excellent prodigy Peter Lemeberg" heissen.

Vielleicht gibt's ein besseres Wort für "Ziehkind" hier: "sportlicher Sprössling" oder "Absolvent"?
