Mercedes Remembers Michael Schumacher as Mick Echoes His Father’s Qualities in the F1 Paddock

The majority of the racing fans find a star in Haas F1 driver Mick Schumacher. While he is the son of arguably the most legendary driver of F1, Michael Schumacher, Mick is slowly winning over hearts in his own way. The pressure of being Michael’s son is surely not easy, but Mick carries the Schumacher brand with the utmost dignity.

Schumacher’s American team Haas has gone through a lot in previous days amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While the pre-season testing has ended, Haas was nowhere in the picture for the first day.

However, Kevin Magnussen’s return and Schumacher’s raw talent have pushed the team’s spirit, as they both clocked in fantastic times during extra hours of testing. Mick was P2 on the last day while Magnussen set the fastest time on Day 2.

Mercedes makes Mick Schumacher’s day

Securing P1 and P2 in a Haas car is not an easy feat, and no wonder the team looked ecstatic. Haas has faced some brutal situations recently, and this was surely an enormous relief for them. We also saw Schumacher congratulating and thanking the team in the garage in a video posted on Instagram.

However, the post saw one comment in particular that stood out. The Mercedes AMG-Petronas F1 team account also commented on this post with a beautiful tribute to Mick’s father. The comment said, “Michael was always the same.” Mick seems to really resemble his father similarly and comes across as a young, humble man.

Last year, a Netflix documentary titled “Schumacher” was released on September 15. The documentary, which honors Michael’s legacy, saw Mick opening up and describing how his father’s accident affected him. He said, “I think dad and me, we would understand each other now in a different way now,” 

“Simply because we speak a similar language, the language of motorsport. And that we would have so much more to talk about.

“That’s where my head is most of the time. Thinking that it would be cool that would be.”

“I would give up everything just for that,” he added.

Mick is also reportedly very close to the Mercedes team and was spotted in their gear several times. While he will act as the Ferrari reserve driver for 2022, the future might see him go to either of the Formula One giants. Who knows?
