S Sebastian Vettl in Mick Schumacher will be in next year in Formulas 1 met two generations of German racers. 21-year-old son Michael Schumacher will compete for the team in its premier season of the royal motorsport class Haas. On the other hand, he will be 33 years old Hag pri Aston Martin probably started his last chapter of a Formula 1 career.

That this will happen generational duel both Germans, this makes the young man especially happy Schumacher. "Of course, it’s funny that we’re racing against each other now. I never thought I would ever be able to say that,”Is in an interview for Bild am Sonntag said the new Haas racer. “However, I am very much looking forward to it.”Because of all the new colleagues in Formulas 1, is twelve years older Vettel the closest. “Seb is the one I’ve talked to the most and who I know best. Of course, there are also guys here that I know from go-kart times. But I've known myself the longest."

Mick Schumacher still has little faith that he will face compatriot and good friend Sebastian Vettl on the track next year.

Personally, though Schumacher he doesn’t know his new boss long enough yet Günther Steiner. However, the South Tyrolean is known to him from Netflix documentary Drive to Survive, where Steiner is with his outbursts and swearing achieved cult status. It is in a personal relationship Schumacher met a completely different man. “I think Günther is a great man, very kind, willing to help and ultimately a very good team boss." Mick considers that the documentary did not exactly show what was actually going on at other points, but nevertheless emphasized that it was a successful case. “It probably also brings fans who didn't know Formula 1 before and who will hopefully delve even deeper into it," so Schumacher.
