Hence, Vettel and Schumacher will team up together and represent Germany at this year’s ROC which will take place in Sweden on February 5 and 6. Of course, by the looks of it, winning the title won’t be an easy ask for the duo, considering several other racing stars from around the world will also be joining them on the grid, hoping for some action.

So, with barely days to go for the exciting event, Schumacher has offered a short preview of his and his teammate’s preparations so far in order to tackle any such threats.

What did Mick Schumacher say?

Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Schumacher opened up that the Red Bull world champion would be marching into this year’s ROC with no preparations whatsoever. The Haas driver, on the other hand, has managed to get himself some practice ahead of the races in Sweden this weekend.

“We are both very excited. Seb goes into the race without any practice, I will do the practice, and let’s see if it will pay off. But I think the main thing is to have fun!” he said.
