In 2011 Mick Schumacher decided to pursue a professional career in motorsport. As the 22-year-old now confessed, the decision was made in a conversation with his father Michael. He has never regretted the step.
Mick Schumacher made the decision for a professional racing career “within a few seconds” together with his father Michael. “That was in 2011, also on the kart track in Kerpen. I sat there with dad and we consulted,” said the 22-year-old son of the Formula 1 record champion of “Bild am Sonntag”. When asked whether he would continue to indulge in racing as a hobby or drive under professional conditions, he replied in no time at all, “that I want to try to make motorsport my profession”.
Mick Schumacher with great enthusiasm like his father Michael once did
Mick Schumacher assured him that he never regretted the decision ten years ago. He has now made it into Formula 1 and is contesting his debut season for the US team Haas this year. For the newcomer, it is a tough year of training in an inferior car, in which the points are usually out of reach.
Similar to his father Michael, who has been world champion seven times, he has a lot of enthusiasm for work. “It’s a part of me and I have this voice in my head that says,” Now go to work! “”
