Michael Schumacher and his son Mick were enjoying a skiing trip together when tragedy struck. In December 2013, while skiing in the French Alps, Michael hit his head on a rock and suffered a serious brain injury. At the time, Mick was only 14 years old. This accident not only changed the course of Michael's life, but also had a profound impact on Mick's life and career.
Mick Schumacher, now 25 years old, recently opened up about his relationship with his father in an interview. He shared that since his father's accident, he has had to navigate his racing career on his own. Michael, a legendary Formula One driver, has not been seen in public since the accident and his family has been fiercely protective of his privacy. As a result, the details of his condition have not been made public, and only those closest to him have been granted access to him.
There were reports last month that Michael had attended his daughter Gina-Marie's wedding, giving fans a glimmer of hope that he may one day be seen in public again. However, the Schumacher family has not confirmed these reports and the veil of secrecy surrounding Michael's condition remains intact. Despite this, Mick remains hopeful and continues to admire his father's legacy.
In a recent book, author Matt Whyman had the opportunity to speak with Mick about his childhood and growing up with a famous and competitive father. Mick shared that he was always a "crazy kid" and tried to do everything his father did. His father was always supportive of his interests and encouraged him to pursue his passion for racing. However, he also challenged Mick to take his racing seriously and pushed him to be the best he could be.
Mick also shared that he learned a lot from his father, both technically and as a coach. However, after his father's accident, he had to navigate his racing career on his own. Despite this, he remains resilient and continues to use the technical advice he learned from his father. This determination has led him to follow in his father's footsteps and make his Formula One debut in 2021.
After a couple of seasons with Haas, Mick joined Mercedes as a reserve driver. He had hoped to make a comeback with Sauber, but the team recently announced that he would not be joining them. Mick's uncle, Ralf, commented on the decision, saying that the family had hoped for Mick to get another chance, but they are also happy to see a new, young driver in Formula One. Mick's resilience and determination have been tested, but he remains hopeful for the future and continues to strive for success in his racing career.
