Driving the 2018 Ferrari car left Mick overwhelmed, and understandably so. Although it wasn’t his first time behind an F1 car, he was still unaware of the new age F1 mechanisms. After the test at Ferrari’s own track, Schumacher Jr. recalled his experience.
“I would like to thank Ferrari and the FDA for giving me the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a hybrid-powered Formula One car,” the German remarked.
“A few weeks ago in Mugello, I was able to drive an F2004, an amazing car, but quite old fashioned now. Getting behind the wheel of a 2018 hybrid car allowed me to understand how important the electronics are for the Power Unit and how much progress Formula One has made in terms of aerodynamics”
