Mick Schumacher does not believe Lewis Hamilton’s record-equalling success is down to his car, and nor was his father’s.
2020 was a season of dominance for Hamilton, who put himself equal with Michael Schumacher on seven World Championships while also surpassing the legendary German’s record for most career wins, armed with the Mercedes W11.
Mercedes have won the past seven Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles in a row, but the W11 was viewed as their most dominant car yet, leading Red Bull’s Max Verstappen to suggest that 90% of the grid could win in that W11.

Mick Schumacher, who will make his Formula 1 debut in 2021, has been discussing the advice that Sebastian Vettel gave him.
Carrying the weight of the Schumacher name meant it would always be a high-pressure route to Formula 1 for the German racer, but in claiming the F2 Championship, he proved that he has the ability to make the step up, rather than just relying on the name.
A member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, Schumacher will link up with Haas for 2021 as part of an all-new rookie line-up for them alongside Nikita Mazepin.
