Vettel is often caught inspecting other cars, trying to gain an understanding of his competitors’ vehicles. Schumacher Jr seems to be following his footsteps and was seen snooping around the McLaren car.

Sebastian Vettel inspects the crooked seat of Mick Schumacher

In fact, Seb was even caught snooping around Mick’s own car after the French GP!

But it was to help out his mentee, not gain an advantage over him. Schumacher opened up to Vettel about his crooked seat, who inspected the former’s car to see if he could help come to a solution.

Explaining why the four-time champion was inspecting his seat, Mick, according to Reuters, said, “I’ve been sitting in a crooked position since the beginning of the season, Like, the seat is central but I am not straight.”

But Vettel didn’t really help his German compatriot and instead gave a tongue-in-cheek solution instead!

“We’ve actually been talking about it (the seat) before and I took the opportunity to show it to him. I think he gave my mum the tip of maybe breaking it so I would get a new one sooner but it didn’t happen in the end so I’ve still got the same seat for now,” said Schumacher.
