It looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as Mick Schumacher follows his father footsteps with his debut at the opening Bahrain test.
Mick, son of seven-time world champion Michael, who has won 5 out of 7 championships with the Ferrari team, finished second behind Verstappen for 0.6s.
Because of the unexpected rain, the teams had to make a break and continue after four hours when the weather improved but this resulted
Mick began his first run and completed 33 laps before the lunch break and another 23 laps in the afternoon in the SF90 with best time of a 1’29”976. Hamilton managed to complete 77 laps and finished 6th, while Albon completed 71 laps, landing at 5th place.
“I really enjoyed today. It felt like home in the garage from the very first moment with a lot of people that know me since I was very young. The SF90 is incredible because of the power it has, but it is also smooth to drive,” said the excited racer.
On Wednesday, we will see Mick behind the wheel of Alfa Romeo.
