The bond of friendship and affection that binds Mick Schumacher And Sebastian Vettel is one of the best known in the F1 paddock. The relationship between the two German drivers is in fact ‘family’ and stems from the closeness that existed between Michael Schumacher, Mick’s father and seven-time world champion, and Vettel himself. The Kaiser took Vettel under his wing during his ‘second career’ in F1, between 2010 and 2012, and Seb wanted to do the same with young Mick when he started to ‘hang out’ the environment permanently. of F1. Not infrequently in the last two seasons the two have been seen joking and chatting together before and after the races, with the Aston Martin driver in the role of expert ‘hen’ ready to provide wise advice to the young student.
In Great Britain Vettel was the first to celebrate Schumacher’s eighth place at the finish line, which meant for his son of art his first points in F1 career. Not even a bad accident between the two, with the Haas driver rammed his friend overtaking in Miami and eliminated both from the points race, did their human relationship deteriorate. The compatriot Nico Rosbergworld champion in 2016, is however convinced that this friendship can last because the two are not competing for the leadership of the championship.
In fact, the former Mercedes driver, known for his fierce rivalry with his former friend Lewis Hamilton at the time of Mercedes, is certain that even the relationship between Schumacher and Vettel would not survive a world championship dispute. “There can be no friendship when fighting one-on-one for each win and for the title – said Rosberg – I do not think it is possible. There is so much at stake that it just doesn’t work out in the long run. Mick hit Sebastian in Miami – recalled the former # 6 of Mercedes – if it had been first place, Vettel would have been in a completely different mood after the race. But these were center-group positions, so you can skip them. It’s incredibly nice that Sebastian supports his friend Mick so much“.
