Michael often appears in newsports specializing in motor racing, although there are no details about the state of health of the 51-year-old German. It is only known that he came out of the coma. Meanwhile, in 2021, the son of Mikhael's son will sit behind the wheel of the Formula 1 car - Mick Schumacher. He will perform for the American team Haas F1. We infrequently writing articles about Motorsport, and this 21-year-old guy never got into our tape, although before receiving an invitation to the royal races, he showed himself well in junior disciplines. Let's run for the main moments in the biography of the son of one of the most famous car rods.
Carier start
Mick was born in 1999. For his father - Michael - this year was not the best in his career. At the British Grand Prix, he broke his leg, as a result of which she missed six races and took the 5th place in the end. Behind the 30-year-old rider, there were already two victories in Formula 1, and in the Motorsport lovers, he was famous. Although the real glory Schumacher received in the next five years, annually bringing the "Scudera Ferrari" victory. Of course, the son of Michael also got carried away by road races. First, as a viewer, and then driving the first racing machines.
Mick was constantly in the field of view of sports journalists when he began to make his first steps in motor racing. His debut took place in 2011 - he performed in the class Ok-Junior. These are kart competition of young riders aged 11 to 15 years. At that time, Shumacher was 12. In order for the Son to be sacrificed and did not use the loud surname, the family decided that Mick would perform under the name of Betch (this is the maiden name of the mother). And only later, when the guy independently advanced through the car driver's career ladder, he took the Mick Junior alias.
The first cards on which the microcouplers played was equipped with a 26-strong engine of 125 cubic meters. See that spinned up to 14 thousand revolutions. The car was electric starter and clutch. According to Junior Intercontinental A cards for performances in OK-Junior, a minimum of 145 kg should weigh (it's with a pilot). Children's competitions are interested in few people, and in 2011 Mick fell on the pages of some editions exclusively as the "Son Schumacher". By 2014, when the guy reached the maximum age to participate in OK-Junior, he climbed several times the pedestal of the German and international film championships.
December 2014. Mick for the first time drove on the real "Formula-4" bar. If the competition on the maps could still be written off the hobby (Schumacher's son is still), then after the test drive "adult" the car has become clear that Mick will connect his life with races and will strive for the Formula 1 chamber. Unfortunately, Michael did not witness this important step in the life of the Son - by that time the 7-fold champion was already in a coma after injury at the ski resort.
The 15-year-old Mick began to perform in Formula 4 for the team of Van AmersFoort Racing in 2015. In Adac Formula 4 disciplines, he has already subscribed to its real name - Mick Schumacher. A year later, the guy moved to the PREMA PowerTeam team car. In 2016, Mick took part in the Italian Formula 4 series and trained at the Ferrari Academy. The best result is second place (as in Adac Formula 4).
"Formula 3" and "Formula 2"
Mick grew, as racing disciplines in which he spoke. At the end of 2016, a Schumacher flew to India who had not yet graduated from school to take part in Mrf Challenge. It was a debut of Mika in Formula 3. He continued cooperation with the Prema team, but initially showed no better results. 2017 The guy completed on the 12th place, only once rising to the podium. It was a difficult time for a young rider. In the following interview, he said that the 2016th and 2017 perceives as years of learning serious racing classes.
"I matured both as a person, and as a racer [during the participation in the European Formula-3]. I learned to work with my team of engineers and mechanics. I learned to remain focused and concentrated during the arrival, "said DRIVETRIBE mic correspondent in 2018.
Season 2018 also began not to Ahti. After 12 races, a young rider had only 67 points, whereas the leader (Dan Tictum) - twice as much. Michael was famous for confidence, hardly worry and persistence. Miku also got these qualities, and he continued to train, laying his way to the top of the rating. In Belgium, in the third Race of SPA Francorchamps, the guy won his first victory in Formula 3.
The remainder of the Mick season was brilliantly. Victory on Silverstone. Next first place on Italian Misano. Three victories in a row on Nürburgring and two on Red Bull Ring in Austria. Check in Hockenheim in Germany, the young racer completed the second, but it did not prevent him from occupying the first place on the results of the 2018 season.
"Formula 1" remains my main goal. I won the Formula 3 championship. Not every F1 pilot can boast of this, "said Mick at a press conference on his important victory.
In 2019 and 2020, the young Schumacher performed in Formula 2. He switched to this class with Prema Racing. More recently, December 6, 2020, Mick became the champion. But it happened rather because of the bad performance of his main opponent - British Callum Ilotta. In the last arrival of the season 2020 (the race took place in Bahrain) Mick started from the third position, but soon after the start was forced to go to the box due to problems with tires. Schumacher lost a lot of time and returned to the race only at the 20th position. He came to the finish line 18th. However, Callum Ilott in the second half of the race lost the tempo and finished also without a single point. Thanks to this MIC and was able to win the title. His advantage over the Ilott at the end of the season was 14 points.
"Formula 1"
In 2021, Mick Schumacher debuts in Formula 1 (as part of the HAAS team). He walked for 10 years. Experts, however, believe that it is not worth these hopes for the young man yet. Hans-Joachim pieces, former Formula 1 racer and two-time winner "24 hours Le Mans", so commented on Mika's extension to the prestigious race of Motorsport-Magazin: "I am sure that Mick will show stable results. But everyone who is at least a bit disassembled in F1, understand that Mick will act far from the strongest team. At the same time, psychological pressure on the young rider will be somewhat less than if he played for Mercedes or Ferrari. "
Mick Doros to the most prestigious automotive competitions on our planet, where he will gradually accumulate experience. Surely he will strive to top teams. The guy goes on the fault path of his father, but before he conquers his own name, and will not be perceived by the public as the "son of Schumacher," he will have to work a lot.
