Only two races to go but two seats are still up for grabs as the silly season business remains unfinished. Out of the two seats, one is at Haas as the American team is yet to announce Kevin Magnussen’s partner. Mick Schumacher is still a possibility even though the former F1 boss suggested otherwise.

Recently, Bernie Ecclestone suggested Mick Schumacher to “forget” about retaining his seat on the team. However, the German is far from taking the Brit’s advice and outlines whose opinion he listens to.

As per BILD, Schumacher outlined his reply to Ecclestone’s suggestion. He said, “It’s hard to forget Formula 1. I love her too much So I won’t do that. Everyone always has an opinion on everything. I care about the opinions of the people I care about.” (Translated by Google)

When asked about the people he cares about, he revealed, “Of course, my family. And a few other people from Formula 1. For example, Sebastian Vettel. Those are the opinions that matter to me.”

Mick Schumacher listens to only a handful of people and fellow German Sebastian Vettel is one of them. We can be sure Vettel isn’t asking Mick Schumacher to focus elsewhere. Even though, that’s exactly what Vettel will be doing after the conclusion of the 2023 season.

Let’s also at the word of advice Bernie Ecclestone issued that Schumacher swiftly rejected.

The suggestion from Bernie Ecclestone that made Mick Schumacher speak out

The German is still hoping to secure a seat for the 2023 season, as we all know. However, the British billionaire thinks he should try his luck elsewhere.

“His name is his biggest burden, but he tries to live up to it as best as possible. And that’s what gets him into all his troubles. Therefore: forget it and win in another category,” suggested the former boss of Formula 1 on RTL.
