Every time we start a discussion about who is the greatest driver in Formula 1, we end up with a different conclusion depending on the person we are talking to. But this is because of the fact that the sport has been fortunate enough to have some of the best drivers be a part of it. As we all know, this debate often revolves around Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, and rightfully so, as the two hold a record number of titles and also have the most race wins in the sport. However, presenting an all-new take on the argument, this young driver has put Sebastian Vettel right next to the Ferrari legend instead of Hamilton.

As you might have guessed, the young driver is Mick Schumacher and he might have been a little biased in giving his answer. Despite all of that, we don’t blame him. Seb has done more than enough in the sport to have his name in the GOAT debate. And it is a plus that he is German, like the Schumacher family, and shares an excellent comradery with Mick.

When asked In an interview, “Where you think Sebastian Vettel ranks amongst the greatest?” the 23-year-old replied, “Well, he’s definitely up there for me. I mean, this might sound patriotic, but for me, he’s up there with my dad.”

The heartwarming relationship between Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel has been the buzz of the town ever since the younger Schumacher joined the F1 circuit. Although they weren’t together in the sport for a long time, they are now supposed to race together once again, that too in the same team!

Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher to race alongside for a common goal

After the last race of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the German legend left Formula One. However, he will soon be competing in another championship. In January, the live action will begin for Race of Champions.

Sweden will host the competition and it will be a star-studded race with Mika Hakkinen, a two-time champion who will be seen racing alongside Valtteri Bottas. Johan Kristoffersson, a five-time champion in the rallycross category, will also take part in the competition. Sebastian Vettel will compete against some of the best drivers. He and his former partner Michael Schumacher have a respectable record of six straight victories from 2007 to 2012.

The Swedish competition will be held on a snow and ice track this year, making it rather challenging. Additionally, the German Legend will team up with Michael Schumacher’s son.

Sharing his delight to race alongside Mick Schumacher, as reported by crash.net, Vettel said, “I’m delighted that Mick will be joining me at the Race Of Champions again for my first race since my retirement from F1. Neither of us has much experience on snow and ice so it was a steep learning curve in Sweden earlier this year.”
