Follow Us
Son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, Mick Schumacher, is ready to follow in his father’s footsteps as he’ll make his debut with Haas at the pinnacle of motorsports this year. The young and talented German driver is very close to his father. But he wasn’t willing to divulge whether he has ever spoken about F1 with Michael.
The soon-to-be F1 debutant was reluctant to speak about the matter and preferred changing the topic. He said, (translated by Google) “These are private matters, let’s go back to motorsport.”
Schumacher Sr‘s health condition has always been kept a secret by the family. As things stand, he is believed to be out of a comatose state but continues to be at home recovering. He’d surely love to watch his son suit up for his first F1 race in Bahrain on March 28.
