“Pesky” Schumacher Boys Give Red Bull Legend “Nightmares” Even After Retirement Leaving F1 World in Splits

“Michael Schumacher hit David Coulthard!….. Look at him. Look at him. He is going to have it out with David Coulthard!” The 1998 Belgian GP had all kinds of drama and the headline was Michael Schumacher‘s collision with David Coulthard. Ever since then, Coulthard may not have forgotten the demons of a Schumacher storming at him. Perhaps the countless number of times the German driver beat him on track is also a psychological barrier in David’s mind. Well, the 2023 ROC Sweden has somehow triggered these demons again! A Schumacher beating DC, but this time it was Michael’s son Mick Schumacher.

Coulthard was representing Britain at the 2023 Race of Champions. Meanwhile, Mick was representing Germany at the snowy tracks in Sweden last weekend. David faced Schumacher in a duel race for the Champions Cup. But he lost to the former Haas driver as Mick progressed further in the competition.

On this, Coulthard expressed his witty self on his Instagram. According to his latest Instagram post, he put out a video of his race duel with Schumacher. Now, the caption of this post has left the F1 world in splits. The caption read, “After all these years & I’m still getting beaten by a Schumacher…”

The Schumacher boys certainly are giving the Red Bull legend a break ever since the 1990s. Back then it was Michael, now post his retirement from F1, it is his son Mick. Regardless, fans have reacted to DC’s caption and also recalled the “nightmares” of Spa 1998.
