Almost 10 years after his terrible skiing accident, we still have no news of seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher. News is rare concerning his state of health and his relatives almost never communicate with the outside world.
According to Johnny Herbert, Schumacher’s former teammate at the Benneton stable, Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, must be ‘going through hell’ due to his father’s condition, as he said in an interview with at Ice 36.
“Michael Schumacher’s health is also very sad for Mick. It must not be easy for Mick, because of what his father has accomplished,” Herbert said. “Being surrounded by your father when you are young. And of course, his father is not there to take advantage of it and guide him. A lot of people have helped Mick over the years, but I think he wished his dad was there for him. »
But the former British driver insisted on the good management of the situation of Mick. “He handled the situation brilliantly. There’s been a lot of media attention because of who he was and who he is. Then there were the expectations related to what his father did and he tried to live up to it,” insists Herbert before returning to the events that cost him his drive at Haas.
“He was under tremendous pressure and did that get the better of him? Maybe. Did he do enough when he was against Kevin Magnussen? Probably not. That’s why it didn’t work. But there is always a chance that an opportunity will arise and he will get that unique race, as was the case for Nyck de Vries, which could make people think ‘Wow’”. As a reminder, Mick Schumacher is now third driver at Mercedes, behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
