Without a doubt Michael Schumacher is one of the greatest drivers ever to have competed in Formula 1. Since his skiing accident, little is known about the health of the German. Nevertheless the name Schumacher lives on in Formula 1, after his son Mick made his entrance in the highest class of motorsport for Haas last year.

Power and energy

As the son of a legend Mick is often compared to his father. In an extensive interview with the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Mick said he doesn't like to compare himself to others. Yet he too is looking for the Michael in himself. "I have been told that we are very similar," said Schumacher junior. He admitted he was impressed by the "power and energy" and "100 percent concentration" his father had during his races. "I really think I'm learning something from that."

Last year, Michael Schumacher was in the spotlight thanks to the documentary about him on Netflix. Mick Schumacher praised how the filmmakers portrayed the human side of his father. "At the same time, it is extremely difficult for me to watch the film. That shows how much feeling is in it, how much emotion it evokes."


Difficult year

Mick Schumacher had a difficult first season in Formula 1. His Haas was unstoppable and he was unable to collect points. He was however clearly superior to his team mate Nikita Mazepin. Haas has high hopes for next season, when a completely different car will be on the track due to rule changes.
