He anointed him Mick Schumacher to coexist with him Lance Stroll next year at Aston Martin, Sebastian Vettel after announcing his retirement.
Already with yesterday’s announcement of the German’s retirement from the field of motor sports, the discussion about his replacement was opened and he indicated his… successor.
Vettel himself said about it:
“Well, obviously I spoke to Lawrence and told them I’m not going to continue, we had a very brief conversation about what might come next. I have my point. I really appreciate Mick. Obviously I’m not completely objective because I’m very close to him, but I think he’s a great driver. He is a learner, continuing to learn when others sort of stop or stop progressing. So he has a lot of talent, but he’s also still very young. So I don’t know. It’s not my decision. If they ask me I will give my opinion, but in the end the team has to make that decision.”
Son Schumacher currently drives for Haas, but is not under contract after the end of the current season. He made his debut at the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix, while in Formula 2 he has had an amazing run with 11 podiums and three wins since his debut in 2019.
