SSummer 1991. Michael Schumacher appears in Formula 1. WHO? A Rhenish, known to motorsport connoisseurs as an ambitious, fast and successful Mercedes driver in the Sports Car World Championship. Nobody else. The crew chiefs of the big racing teams only noticed during qualifying workouts at Spa, on a slope that everyone feared back then, where Schumacher had never driven before, than anyone in the Jordan is capable of. . A race later, Schumacher is sitting in the Benetton, in the elevator to orbit of Formula 1.
29 years and three months later, everyone is waiting for Mick Schumacher. All of Formula 1, media from all over the world, an unmanageable number of interested parties participate in social networks. For weeks it seems certain that the son of the record world champion will make the leap from Formula 2 to the premier class. For six years, the RTL television network has more or less closely followed the Germans, and on Sunday the second part of a documentary will be broadcast. With each stage of the journey, which is not always uphill, the expectation grows that the child will imitate the old man, including the exclamation point. And so the announcement from the Haas racing team this Wednesday morning seemed like the logical fulfillment of a general illusion. That was clear. Only one still seemed a bit surprised. Mick Schumacher: “I still haven’t realized one hundred percent,” he said during a video conference in a hotel room near the Bahrain racecourse: “It’s crazy that I’m so far away now. All the difficult hours are now paying off. “.
