Lewis Hamilton’s Breakfast Could Be the Reason Behind Mick Schumacher Making His Mercedes Debut

In a cruel sport like Formula 1, Mick Schumacher seems to have found a safe haven in Mercedes. After being brutally ousted by Haas, the German driver got the sympathy of Toto Wolff and Co. as he got signed up to the team as their reserve driver. Now, after almost half a year on the sidelines, it would appear that Schumacher is inching closer to a return to the pinnacle of motorsport courtesy of the self-proclaimed Vegan, Lewis Hamilton.

Being a reserve driver means you are always within a shot of getting into the car if something should befall one of the two drivers. Now, in the past, we’ve seen Wolff emphatically lobby for Schumacher’s return. But will he do it at the cost of his own drivers?

Toto Wolff proposes bizarre Lewis Hamilton theory

Currently, the duo of Hamilton and George Russell are occupying the two seats at the Silver Arrows. But Wolff is well aware of the risks of being a mortal human being. And in line with his he has theorized a bizarre situation, where Hamilton’s veganism and an affinity for hummus for breakfast may be to the benefit of Mick Schumacher!

Speedweek.com quoted Wolff as saying, “Besides, if one of our drivers ever has fish poisoning – or in Lewis’ case, avocado poisoning – we know we’ve got a great guy in the car who can drive well. But as much as I like this situation from the point of view of our team, I would like Mick to be able to race himself.” [translated via Google Translate]

This adulation for Schumacher isn’t a bias for the famous Schumacher name when it comes to Wolff. Mick has proved his salt to the entire team and they reaped the benefits in Spain.

Hamilton’s ode to Mick Schumacher

Mercedes scored a well-deserved double podium at the Spanish Grand Prix. However, if you think it was purely down to the upgrade package and the two drivers driving the wheels off of the W14, then Lewis Hamilton’s got some news for you.

Formula1.com quoted him as revealing, “We’ve got a great team, with Mick back in the simulator on Friday night and he did some great work, which helped us get on the right track on Saturday. I think we did pretty decent work in trying to understand the different downforce levels.”
