Now in 2021, he is racing with Michael‘s son, Mick Schumacher, in F1. But Mick mentioned it disappointed him he has had no battles with the Iceman on track. But to grant the young German’s wish, Kimi proposed a very comical solution.
When he asked what it meant for him to share the track with Kimi, Mick had no answer.
