The greatest name ever to grace the Formula One paddock. This is the surname of legend Michael Schumacher and his son Mick.
Michael debuted for Jordan in the 1991 Belgian GP, replacing Bertrand Gachot, and qualified P6, however retired from the race. He was then signed by Benetton, and took his first win at the 1992 Belgian GP. He took two titles with Benetton in 1994 & 1995, and also won the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004 titles with Ferrari. He is the Scuderia’s most successful driver, and is only beaten by Lewis Hamilton in terms of statistics. He returned to F1 in 2010 driving for Mercedes. He almost won the 2012 Monaco GP, and is the oldest podium stander, aged 43 at the 2012 European Grand Prix in Valencia, unfortunately in 2013, Michael sustained life-changing brain injuries in a skiing accident, and now has the Keep Fighting Foundation set up in his honour.
Mick is a current F1 driver in his rookie season, driving for backmarker team Haas, with his teammate Nikita Mazepin. Mick has consistently outperformed his teammate Nikita over the course of 2021, and some say that he is a future world champion, just like his father. Mick is the 2020 F2 Champion with Prema, and held the title until Oscar Piastri was crowned 2021 F2 Champion. He is a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, and is en-route to a future seat with Ferrari, potentially in 2024 or 2025, most likely replacing Carlos Sainz to become the new teammate of Charles Leclerc.
