Formula 1 newbie Mick Schumacher, who just joined the sport last year as the winner of the Formula 2 Championship title in 2020, sat down for a heart-to-heart conversation where he revealed how his rookie year with Haas has been a learning experience for him. While the son of the seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher did not have the luck of scoring any Championship points in his first year as an F1 racer, he has now got 12 points to his name after two consecutive brilliant performances in Britain and in Austria this year.

While Mick has a lot to learn from his time in Formula 1, the German 23-year-old racer claims to have already imbibed many lessons by now. He said that he has gained an all-round experience by being a Formula 1 racer, and he is thankful for it. Mick’s improvement in F1 can be seen by comparing his racing records from last year with his results in the races that have already taken place in 2022. It is quite apparent that the German has vastly improved, and if his words are to be believed, he is on the path towards even more improvement.

Coming from a family with a huge legacy in the field of racing, many fans might speculate that Mick Schumacher has racing in his blood, but the German believes he has a lot to learn to be able to get to the position that he dreams of in F1. Last year, Schumacher could not score a single points, but now, he is seen defending his position in the grid with all his might against stalwarts like Lewis Hamilton, and fans have also celebrated his first points finish as he came eighth in the British GP.

Speaking on how Formula 1 has taught his a lot in his one and a half year in this league of motorsports, Mick Schumacher said, “Obviously I feel more experienced, I feel a bit more complete but there’s still a long way to go. It’s only my second year, there’s so much more to learn in F1 besides racing and every day I try to exploit that to see where I can improve and where I still feel like I need work.”

The young racer also said that he never felt like F1 is a 9-to-5 job. He said, “I think everybody would like to have more free time but at the end of the day, this is our job. I feel like even if we’re not at a race weekend, we’re always ready to work. It’s not as consistent as a 9-5 job but it varies, it’s a daily job.”
