The world of Formula 1 is indeed a cutthroat one with racers always aiming for each other’s neck to get to the top of the Championship standings. But every once in a while, fans discover some wholesome relationships develope between the F1 drivers, and one of the biggest example of this would be the mentor-mentee dynamics between German racers Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher. When Vettel was only a newbie to the F1 paddocks, Mick’s father, the legendary seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher had held his hands as he learnt to steer through the world of motorsports.

Now, the times have changed. At 35, Sebastian Vettel decided to step down from his role as a regular F1 racer, and it has been two years since Michael’s son Mick Schumacher made his debut on the F1 racetracks. And it is indisputable that Seb has always looked out for Mick to return the favor that Mick’s father had done to him. Unfortunately, the young Schumacher could not get a seat at any of the teams in 2023, and thus he will have to sit out and act as the Mercedes reserve driver. But that does not mean fans will be missing out on seeing the Seb-Mick duo in action.
