The 4-time world champion shows his disappointment towards Schumacher

Mick Schumacher considers Sebastian Vettel as his idol and mentor in F1. So he was pretty upset to learn that Vettel was frustrated as he ruined Seb’s lap.

“He is the last person I want to stand in the way of,” said Schumacher on Vettel.

Mick further stated, “I don’t know what Nikita is saying, I think in the end, his crew didn’t give him the message. I asked if I could overtake because my tires were quite cold and he usually does a lap that is a bit slower than mine and I got the okay from the team and overtook accordingly.”

“I think Lando [Norris] was between us and I don’t see a reason to make a drama out of it. His lap didn‘t get ruined. We will discuss this internally and Guenther [Steiner, team principal] will also say something. In my opinion, on our side, we didn‘t do anything wrong.” concluded the Haas driver.
