David Coulthard puts his views on the clash Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher had on Lap 53.

Luckily the relationship they both had with each other didn’t seem to have an effect considering the aftermath of the crash. Seb’s Aston Martin had an unfortunate retirement and Mick’s Haas, hoping to score his first point, had to run back to the pits to get his Front wing change and ended up with no points yet again.

However, taunting the friends, advised the four-time champion to help the young german and teach him how to overtake “He definitely needs to give him some overtaking advice.”

But that doesn’t make them fight less on the track at the end of the day they both are still racing drivers. Miami Grand Prix has had a different point of view, with David convinced it was a mistake done by the Haas driver who wasn’t confident enough to take the corner.

And I loved how Mick was on the radio going ‘I had the…corner’. He doubted himself as he said it.” “And I think when he reflects on it, he made a mistake, that door was always going to close.”
