Not only Schumi fans get emotional with these pictures: almost 30 years after Michael Schumacher’s first Formula 1 race, his son Mick was allowed to do a few laps in the legendary Jordan 191. Michael Schumacher made his debut in Belgium in the green racing car from the 1991 season. A few weeks before Formula 1 stops in Spa-Francorchamps this season, Mick was allowed to take a seat at the wheel for a television shoot and race over the Formula 1 track in Silverstone.
Sebastian Vettel experienced a special moment
“I’m in my dad’s car,” posted Schumi Jr. proud of photos from the very special test drive organized by the British TV broadcaster Sky.
Sebastian Vettel even stopped by at the very special TV shoot, who was testing the new Pirelli tires for 2022 with his Aston Martin team on the track.
Not the first goosebumps moment for Schumacher fans
Incidentally, it was not the first time for Schumacher that he was allowed to drive a legendary car owned by his father Michael.
In 2017, the Formula 1 youngster did a few laps in his father’s first world champion car, the Benetton B194. Last year, when Ferrari celebrated the 1000th Formula 1 race, Mick took his place at the wheel of the F2004 – the last Ferrari in which Michael Schumacher was world champion.
