“Pushed the whole team” – Sebastian Vettel Lands Heaps of Praises on Mick Schumacher

Sebastian Vettel is a 4-time world champion. He is only the second driver from Germany to win world championships after his hero, Michael Schumacher, who has 7. Now Michael’s son, Mick, has joined the sport and is in his rookie season.
