Haas driver Mick Schumacher has opened up on comparisons between Lewis Hamilton and his father, Michael Schumacher. The former Ferrari legend is still highly regarded, but Hamilton has dominated Formula One in recent years, leading to comparisons between the two.
Mick Schumacher has cast doubts over claims that Lewis Hamilton is greatest Formula One driver of all-time after giving his verdict on his dad, Michael Schumacher.
Schumacher Jr. is set to follow in his father’s footsteps and make his F1 debut in the upcoming season after signing for Haas.
However, as he prepares to go head-to-head with the only man who has rivalled his father’s number of world championships in Hamilton, Schumacher has admitted that perhaps Hamilton is yet to rival his old man’s achievements.
Speaking to F1’s official website about his driving idol, he said: “My dad! I definitely look at what he achieved and I try to learn from it.
“The enormous amount of work it requires, how relevant are the resources, energy and talent applied by that champion who then wins,” said Schumacher in an interview with

“It’s an iceberg, and we often only see the tip of that iceberg emerging from the water.”
The new Formula One season kicks off on March 28 at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
