Mick Schumacher Cheekily Explains Why He Doesn’t Want to ‘Risk a Fight’ With Haas F1 Mechanics

German Driver Mick Schumacher will host a barbecue party and invite his team mechanics for the most anticipated Euro 2020 fixture between Germany and England.

Although Haas is an American team with Russian sponsorship, they are based in Banbury, England, and comprise a majority of English mechanics. Therefore, the young Schumacher is afraid to wear a German jersey in front of his team; he thinks it’ll lead to a fight!

Speaking to Bild, Mick Schumacher says: “I have to see what I can find. I think in the end I will go into the evening a little more neutrally. I don’t want to risk a fight.”

After finishing P16 at Styrian GP, Mick Schumacher invited his mechanics to celebrate the progress made by his team. “There will be sausages and steaks and a few goodies from here,” said Schumacher. (Translated via Google translate)

Germany will take on the Three Lions at Euro 2020 in the round of 16 on Tuesday. The winner of this match will face either Ukraine or Sweden in the quarter-finals.

Mick Schumacher facing seat issues in Haas F1 car

The 22-year-old revealed that he has been facing issues with his seat in his Haas car since the beginning of the season. Although the German admits the current situation does not hamper his driving performance and his team plans to fix it after the summer break.

A video surfaced after the French Grand Prix where the four-time world champion, Sebastian Vettel, was seen inspecting Schumacher’s car. He is like a mentor to Mick and helps him the same way the latter’s father, Michael Schumacher, helped him during the early stages of his Formula 1 career.

And ahead of the Styrian GP Mick Schumacher said: “So basically, I’ve been sitting in a crooked position since the beginning of the season just because the seat is central, but I am not straight. We’ve actually been talking about it before and I took the opportunity to show him.”

“[We] just spoke about the seat and I think he gave my Mum the tip of maybe breaking it so I would get a new one sooner!”
