Eighth in the British Grand Prix, Mick Schumacher celebrated his first points in F1 with his mother and sister, present at Silverstone.
It is one of the events of this British Grand Prix ! Mick Schumacher scored his first points in F1 at the end of an extremely eventful race, on a perfect day for the Haas team, whose two cars “scored” this Sunday. While Schumi Jr finished 8th, Kevin Magnussen also got into the points by finishing 10th.

The son of the legendary Michael Schumacher will therefore have waited for his 31st race in F1 to open his counter. Finally ! More than the 4 points for 8th place, which now allow him to be ahead of Alexander Albon, Lance Stroll and Nicholas Latifi in the drivers’ classification, it is the fine race achieved by the German driver which is to be underlined.
Starting from the last row on the grid, Mick Schumacher was able to take advantage of rather crazy circumstances (six retirements, several interruptions) to come up against his competitors and finish the race in the fight with… Max Verstappen, the reigning world champion. Enough to give confidence to the Haas driver.

A result that will do you good
“We are really happy, reacted Mick Schumacher. Starting from 19th place, I said we had the speed to push forward and we definitely showed that today. It’s great for the team, a double in points, so it’s obviously very useful for the constructors’ classification. For me, I’m happy now to focus on what’s really important, which is racing and riding. »
It was so special to have Mick’s mom Corinna and sister Gina with us yesterday for Mick’s 8th place finish 😊#HaasF1 #BritishGP pic.twitter.com/pa3cT9ifzl

Corinna and Gina Schumacher were there
This result should indeed take some weight off the shoulders of Mick Schumacher, who knows he has a difficult name to bear. It was with his mother Corinna and his sister Gina that he was able to celebrate his first points. And there is no doubt that the whole family was thinking very hard of dad, Michael, still hospitalized at his home since his very serious skiing accident at the end of 2013.
