Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher are gearing up to be teammates at Race of Champions in Sweden. This is the second time the German duo will be teammates at the event. Both Vettel and Schumacher get on very well with each other and can be seen hanging out in the F1 paddock quite often.
Just before the start of the event, fans saw both drivers go on a jog in snowy Sweden. While Schumacher and others were decked up from head to toe to stay warm, Vettel jogged with them in clothes that looked nothing like winter wear. The fans took to social media to express their feelings regarding the German pair at the event.
Turns out the Iceman has brought Iceman friends.

“At ROC Mexico [in 2019], we came second in the ROC Nations Cup, so our aim is to do one better in Sweden. The competition will be very strong, especially from the Nordic drivers who have a lot more experience than us driving on snow and ice.
“It’s very nice to see the many new sustainability initiatives that the Race Of Champions are implementing, as they aim to become a climate-positive event over the coming years,” said Vettel.

Both drivers have little experience of driving on ice, and that is why the challenge would be a little more tricky. But it is amazing to see the Aston Martin and Haas F1 drivers teaming up to represent their country.
