But it was Mick’s activity on his social media that recently broke the internet and sent F1 fans into a frenzy. Let’s find out what did the German driver do.

Mick scored 12 points in this campaign and finished P16 in the WDC. However, it was not enough to earn a race seat as he had to settle for the reserve-driver role.
