Nico Rosberg thinks Mick Schumacher’s Formula 1 debut will be “ten times more difficult” than his own was back in 2006. “And it will be ten times more difficult for Mick because Michael was in Formula 1 not that long ago and he was much more successful,” the 35-year-old German added. In fact, Rosberg can imagine that the media attention on the 21-year-old Haas rookie will be more intense than for any other Formula 1 driver this year. “Initially it will be even greater than the attention on Lewis Hamilton,” Rosberg said. He said that if the media won’t voluntarily ease up on Schumacher, “he’ll have to do that himself”.
