"My father was the best there has ever been in this sport, I don't see why I should want to break away from him."
While waiting to start his first season in Formula 1 with Haas, Mick Schumacher is back to talk about himself and his famous father.
"My goal - added the 21-year-old German driver in an interview with Bild am Sonntag - is to learn and understand as much as possible. I want to grow quickly, I want to waste as little time as possible. You can't be intimidated by the big names. they are human beings too. They have done incredible, gigantic things in this sport, but despite this you have to impose yourself, give your all and drive in the hardest, albeit loyal, way possible. In the other categories in which I have driven up to now on the other hand, I did just that ".
The son of art then concluded: "I think my debut in Melbourne will be very exciting. My mother Corinna will be very happy. She is my number one interlocutor, she is always the first to call me. When I was promoted to Formula 1 she said she knew the time would come. She always seemed very confident about my growth path. But in reality she was always right. "
