Mazepin reveals involvement in Michael Schumacher accident

Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher made their Formula 1 debut together this season with the Haas team. However, their relationship dates back to 2013 when the German’s father, former pilot Michael Schumacher , suffered that unfortunate ski accident.

And it is that on December 29 of that year Nikita Mazepin and his family were at the station next door skiing. For this reason, they learned of Michael Schumacher’s mishap before RMC Sport and Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director of the Meribel ski resort, reported what happened. “We were then in the neighboring resorts of the French Alps. I was with my family in Courchavel and Mick and his family in Meribel, so we were one of the first to know what happened ”, revealed Nikita Mazepin on RBC .

At that time Mazepin and Mick Schumacher raced karting, although they did not know each other personally. However, the Russian’s family telephoned the German’s family to inquire about the Kaiser’s status. “We call them and wish Michael a speedy recovery . A week later, I met Mick in the winter tests in Italy and I was surprised by the professional way in which he approached despite what had happened and this at a young age ”, added Nikita Mazepin on the aforementioned channel. TV. At that time Mick Schumacher was 14 years old .

Mick Schumacher would drop everything to speak himself

Netflix recently premiered a documentary about Michael Schumacher . In it his son Mick regretted not being able to share his first steps in Formula 1 with his father: “ Since the accident these experiences, these moments that I think many people have with their parents are no longer present , or they are but less so, and in my opinion it is something unfair ”.

I think that Dad and I, we would understand each other in a different way now simply because we speak a similar language, the language of the engine and we would have a lot to talk about . There is my head most of the time, thinking that would be so cool. I would leave everything just for that, “added the Haas pilot.

For her part, Michael Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, pointed out: “ Of course I miss Michael every day, but it’s not just me who misses him: the children, the family, his father , everyone. that is close to him. Everyone misses Michael, but Michael is here. In a different way, but it is here and that makes us find strength ”.

Mazepin and Mick Schumacher could part ways

Mazepin’s father owns the chemical fertilizer company and has a fortune valued at just over € 11 billion . In his day he tried to buy Force India (today Aston Martin), but Lawrence Stroll, the father of Lance Stroll , was the one who finally took over this team. Dmitry Mazepin, also tried it with Williams and did not succeed. He has finally entered Formula 1 at the hands of Haas , a team to which he contributes 25 million euros. This move has allowed the team to give a steering wheel to Nikita Mazepin .

Although his son’s results are not being good, he has been confirmed for next season by Haas. Not so Mick Schumacher , whose continuity depends on a three-way negotiation with Ferrari. The Italian team prefers that its pupil falls into another with greater aspirations, and his relationship with Nikita Mazepin has not been as expected. “ We have had some misunderstanding, but it is normal . We are two young men trying to have a long race in Formula 1. We have known each other for a long time. We will find a way to work together ”, commented the Russian about it.

An alternative to Haas for Mick Schumacher is Williams. “He is only in his first year in Formula 1, but he has been absolutely smart in managing the car, the team and his season in general. He’s a good kid and he really deserves to drive a winning car . I am confident that this will happen and, if that car were a Williams, it would be even better ”, the team director acknowledged after the Turkish Grand Prix.
