Michael Schumacher's poignant message to son Mick who "loves" being compared to icon

Mick Schumacher has revealed the heartwarming advice given to him by his father before he embarked on his own career in F1.

Schumacher, 23, is currently in his second season with American team Haas, following a harrowing debut campaign in 2021 where he failed to score a single point for his team. And 2022 didn't get off to a great start either, following a dramatic crash in qualifying in Saudi Arabia which forced him to miss the race, costing his team a hefty sum in repair bills in the process.

That led to speculation that Gunther Steiner would be releasing the German at the end of 2022, although he has since shown signs of improvement. An eighth-placed finish at Silverstone ensured his first ever F1 points, and that was backed up by coming sixth in Austria.
