Some compared the Haas rookie to his peer in AlphaTauri. While Yuki Tsunoda is known for his heated team radios, Schumacher’s beeping was a stark contrast. Further, Schumacher fans compared him to his mentor and best friend – Sebastian Vettel. Seb too was close to making it to the next level in Q2; his “no f*cking way” reaction being just as sweet.

Mick Schumacher explains beeping
The German had an impressive qualifying session at Sochi. In addition to coming close to a Q2 appearance, he out-qualified his teammate by 3.9 seconds. Therefore, his frustrations on missing out on a better starting position are more than justified.

Explaining his soft frustrations, Schumacher explained his feelings inside the cockpit. “I did not want to hit with my fist against the steering wheel because it is expensive.”
Mick Schumacher will start the Russian GP in 16th, which means he will have Max Verstappen behind him yet again. The Hungarian GP gave Schumacher the opportunity to defend against the champion; a task he executed wonderfully for almost 10 laps. Sunday’s race presents itself as another chance for the driver.
