Any sport demands physical fitness from its athletes. There is no excuse for training in any outdoor sport. The reason being that each one of them requires us to push our physical self beyond the regular means. Well, Mick Schumacher knows it all and knows it well.

Schumacher Jr. missed his first test practice at Nurburgring. With the rain washing away his hopes to drive in the Alfa Romeo cockpit, the German could only hand Michael’s helmet to Hamilton that weekend.

Coming forward a few weeks, Ferrari is yet to determine his next test practice. In the meantime, a Deutsche journal, T-Online.de, got an exclusive with the young F2 champion. Amidst several things, the training program was a major highlight.

“My main focus was on physical fitness. Of course, this is a topic that is very present all year round anyway, because Formula 2 is also very physically demanding. But in Formula 1 the requirements are a little different,” explained Mick.

Mick Schumacher was grateful to the FDA for arranging his Nurburgring practice with Alfa Romeo. Although foreseeable circumstances saw his chance fade, they intensified his training routine to prepare him for the day.

“There is no power steering in Formula 2, so it is very important to have trained arm muscles.

“In Formula 1, the g-forces are much higher, so that there is more stress on the neck. Accordingly, I adjusted my training program a little in the days before the planned assignment.”
