There is loads of advice Sebastian Vettel has given me. Most of them are secret because they are from a competition sport,” the German said, quoted by GPFans

Mick Schumacher added“But I have huge respect for him and I think we can call that a friendship, which is very nice for me. He has got so much experience and [there is] so much I can learn from him. The biggest advice is really to never forget why I am here, because we love the sport, and I guess once you lose that, you are in the wrong place.
