Mick Schumacher Opens Up On his major fear as he prepares for F1 return

Mick Schumacher has opened up on his journey to return to a permanent F1 seat as well as growing up in the spotlight.

The German driver lost his place in Formula 1 at the conclusion of the 2022 season when Haas decided to replace him with Nico Hulkenberg after two challenging years with the team. Despite currently serving as a test and reserve driver for Mercedes, Schumacher openly expresses his desire to return to the grid in the near future.

Schumacher now sheds light on his approach to securing a seat in Formula 1, emphasising the influence of his star sign on his journey. Recognising the duality of his personality, Schumacher explains that he transforms into a different person when away from the racetrack, which he believes will contribute to his comeback.

In an interview with Bild, Schumacher shares insights into his character, stating:

“As a child, I could go anywhere and chat with anyone, but the older and more famous I became, the less I liked it. I am reclusive and quite shy.

“I have two personalities: on one hand, I am the racing driver, and on the other hand, I am the private Mick.

“That’s who I am all the time, but as soon as I arrive at the racetrack, I become the driver. It remains that way until I leave again on Sunday evening.”

Despite the challenges he has faced, Schumacher remains steadfast in his aspirations. He continued:

“My goal is to get a seat in Formula 1 again.

“I had a precise plan for my career. Even before I entered Formula 4, I knew when I wanted to race in which series to make my dream of Formula 1 possible. But then everything turned out completely different.

“I believe in zodiac signs. I am an Aries, and I tend to be headstrong.”
