mick schumacher is interviewed about his decision to join wec and what he's learned from sebastian vettel and his family [part 2/2] - 2024 (transcript under the cut)

Interviewer: "Did Sebastian Vettel help you with your decision?" Mick: "We've spoken about it a couple times, and obviously I always go back to people that I can trust in understanding on also what their thought is of, let's say, some of the choices that I would wanna make. Obviously we spoke about different things, and for me, there was the least compromise that I had to do in going to WEC, and Sebastian definitely agreed with that." Interviewer: "Sebastian and you are friends, and he gave you some advice for your career. Which is the most important, from your point of view?" Mick: "Honestly, I don't think I could pinpoint one of them because there were so many. We've spent so much time together, especially when we were racing together in '21 and '22, and there was just so much that I learned from him, so much that I put into place for my own, let's say, racing career. Yeah, a lot of the challenges that he faced, which I had thought were maybe not normal, he said they were very normal, so it really helped me to understand autosport a bit better." Interviewer: "Okay. Many F1 drivers choose WEC, like Giovinazzi, Buemi, and how do you explain it?" Mick: "Formula 1 is a very European-based championship. It always was, and I think most of the time it will always be that way, which means that a lot of people have their homes in Europe. Obviously if you move to Japan or if you move to the United States, that's your choice, but it is gonna be a very different life to what you have in Europe, and to me that was one of the criteria, so I iamgine that that's probably going to be one of the criterias for other people." Interviewer: "Okay. And your father, your uncle were F1 drivers. Your cousin, David, is a racing driver. How much do you talk about motorsport in your family?"

Mick: "As you can imagine, we talk quite a lot. It's always a big topic, and sometimes we have to go into the position where say, okay, look, let's not talk about motorsport right now, 'cause we've talked about it the whole year. Let's keep one day where we don't talk about it. But most of the time… I think there hasn't been a day in my life where I haven't at least once either thought or talked about racing, or motorsport, or cars, in that sense, so I think that will be the same way for the rest of my life, to be honest." Interviewer: "I asked you that because I had another questiona bout that aspec.t Have you ever been tired about being surrounded by people so involved in motorsport? Because your father, your uncle, your cousin are all drivers." Mick: "No, because, at the end, it becomes a second family and you get to know so many people and people that are great; great personalities, great people. Also people off the track that you can hang out with. Obviously you also have the complete opposite, of people that you don't want to see outside of work, but it's the same in any… If you go a nine-to-five job and you work at an office, there's also gonna be that one person that you understand yourself pretty well with and you're gonna spend some time with outside of work, but then also the people that you cannot deal with outside of work but have to work with. So no, the answer is I don't get tired of motorsport and of motorsport people, because we share the same passion and we have the same love for racing." Interviewer: "And what did you learn about from them? Sorry." Mick: "You mean in general, from people in racing? Interviewer: "From your family; father, uncle…" Mick: "As I said about Sebastian, I think there's so many things I have… Everything that I know and everything that I've learned is because of them, and obviously I've made my own experiences, but the roots and the basis is always gonna be what I've learned as a kid, and that's from my dad and from people around me who have supported me since day one." Interviewer: "Okay. So, Mick, thank you and, in Italian, buona fortuna." Mick: "Grazie."

“Mick’s problem was that his fellow team member in his first year couldn’t compete with him. Both were rookies and he dominated Mazepin, he was no benchmark to him. In his second year, with Kevin Magnussen he had a stronger driver as his colleague. Under those circumstances, Haas didn’t give him enough room to grow. Now at Mercedes he can take time and learn everything he wants to learn. I hope that he gets another chance. If he does, I’m sure he can win them over.”

Mick Schumacher At the Crossroads Between WEC and F1: "I Still Don't Know Where I'm Going"

Interview with the young 25-year-old German, who is finishing his endurance season because he is unable to compete in the final 2024 F1 GPs.

He could have been with Williams in F1 this weekend in Baku. More than one believed that he was going to replace Logan Sargeant at Grove from Monza. Instead, Mick Schumacher is at Fuji to continue his hypercar program. In Japan, we felt the young German was somewhat bitter at not being in Azerbaijan. It is clear that he has unfinished business with Formula 1, he who still wants to prove what he's worth in a better context than the one he experienced in 2021 and 2022. In the meantime, he takes stock of this year, where the Alpine program in WEC was a bone to gnaw for him. "When I started my career on circuits, I never imagined one day doing endurance," Mick told us in the Fuji paddock. "It was a year of firsts for everyone. My first time in WEC, but also the first year of the Alpine LMDh. Nevertheless, we've done good things while being in the learning phase. We must keep in mind that we're beginners. There's still a lot of work to do for all of us."

The transition to long-term races was also not easy for the 25-year-old, who nevertheless established himself as a valuable element of the Alpine team throughout the races. "I had to learn to drive with cars of different categories on the track, something I had never experienced in the single-seater era," continues the ex-Haas driver. "Fortunately, my teammates Nicolas Lapierre and Matthieu Vaxivière helped me a lot and still help me today. In addition, the Alpine is heavier while having less power and downforce than an F1 car, so it's less exhilarating to drive. But it's comparing apples and pears since they are two completely different categories of cars." Having already tamed old F1 cars that marked the career of his illustrious father Michael, the former Formula 2 champion did not remain indifferent to a Silver Arrow which was synonymous with a springboard in the Kaiser's career. Ironically, the prototypes served as a fallback for both Michael and Mick at a time when their careers were at a crossroads. "Of course, I love driving the cars that my father once raced with. Not long ago I was able to try the Sauber-Mercedes that he raced in Group C in the early 90s. It was really nice." If the doors of F1 were to definitively close for Schumi Jr, it's not excluded to see him try legendary races in the future. "I haven't yet put myself in a position to know if I can freelance elsewhere. Of course, I'm keeping an eye on the Indianapolis 500 or even the Dakar. But I haven't yet thought about whether it was doable for me in the near future, but it's true that it would be fun to participate in the Dakar one day, even if this event requires a lot of preparation."

Or, racing at Le Mans with Uncle Ralf and cousin David? The latter recently hit the headlines by successfully racing in LMP3 and dreams of eventually being in Sarthe. "Unless David and Ralf choose to do hypercar, it would be complicated to organize that. I still don't know where I'm going in my career. At the moment, I'm not saying yes or no because I don't know where I'll be in a few years." While waiting to know what the future holds for him, Mick will try to achieve a good result at the foot of Mount Fuji. "The two Alpines performed very well in Austin. We can be proud of what we've done. We of course hope that this will be confirmed, even if it's a very different track. We remain cautious, but we hope that it'll go well. If everything falls into place in the race we can fight for the podium, but out of respect for the youth of the program, we avoid thinking about it too much." And to decide if it will stop or still for him in the WEC next year.
