In journalism, everyone knows that one always needs to find the biggest and best scoop possible for a good story. However, on the moral ground, there is a line that one does not cross. One journalist found that out while asking Mick Schumacher a question, a rather tasteless one.

The journalist asked about the relations of the Schumacher and Verstappen families at the time. Then came the bombshell, the next question was about who was the best skier between Schumacher and Verstappen.

Now, bear in mind that the subject will still be a sore point for Mick and the Schumacher family. Especially since Mick’s father, Michael Schumacher was involved in a skiing accident.

If I’m being honest, such a question would be an insult to the Schumacher memory. Mick must be commended for keeping his cool in such a situation and not punched him, à la Chris Hemsworth in the 2013 movie Rush.
