Image of the day: Mick Schumacher competes with his mother Corinna from ‘kopi’

All the drivers, as such, took the day as if it was their last race. The tension and competitiveness can be felt in the area designated for the press right next to the garage for the cars to take to the track. They are competing with Nations Cup of Race of Champions, an event that in recent years has become a kind of winter ‘show’ in the motor world, an appointment to have fun, rather than a big trophy in the drivers’ palmares. However, everyone wants to win. There is no ‘friendly’. They tried to avoid the press to stay focused, all looking at the time tables and the head-to-head duels repeated in each qualifying heat. There was competitive tension. Despite this, there is no shortage of fun, obviously, as this is one of the great elements of this event that takes place on the icy path of Pete Havsbad (Sweden). And the emotion evoked by one particular moment was not lacking either: that of F1 driver (formerly of Haas and now a Mercedes reserve) Mick Schumacher got out of the track to play it against his rival with his mother Corrina Schumacher in the co-driver seat.

The mother and son went out on the track together in a sports car. RX2e of World RallyCross and Mick ran with Corinna by his side.

It should be noted that in Race Of Champions all drivers are accompanied, generally people related to brands and sponsors, so that they can have an unforgettable experience competing with some of the best drivers in the world from different other disciplines. This time, Corinna was with her son and from this Saturday it became the most special that Mick will remember.

Also, Corinna lived another moment to frame the power to act as co-pilot of such an icon Sebastian Vettel, great family friend, who tried to help Mick Schumacher in his first two years in F1 in the same way father Michael Schumacher did to ‘Seb’ when he was young.
