Michael schumacher

Inside Mercedes F1: Mick Schumacher, son of Formula 1 icon Michael Schumacher, opened up about the challenges and inspirations that have defined his racing career. Mick, who has been following in his legendary father’s footsteps, revealed how he had to “find his own feet” in Formula 1 after his father's skiing accident curtailed the guidance and support he once had.

Michael Schumacher, the seven-time Formula 1 champion, suffered life-altering injuries in a tragic skiing accident in December 2013 when Mick was just 14. The accident changed their lives, leaving Mick to navigate much of his professional racing journey independently. But even now, years later, Mick follows lessons his father instilled, often recalling both his father’s competitive spirit and his challenging guidance.

“I was a crazy kid - everything my dad did, I did,” Mick said in the latest insights shared through Matt Whyman's new book, Inside Mercedes F1.
