Mick Schumacher racked up the highest repair bill for his team than any other driver on the 2021 grid. That is the claim of several authoritative sources, including Kolner Express and Bild newspaper. Rookie Mick’s uncle Ralf Schumacher aimed fire at the sensational headline in Bild newspaper, which crowned the 22-year-old as F1’s “crash world champion”. Indeed, Mick’s mentor Sebastian Vettel hailed Schumacher’s first season in F1. “He held up well in the worst car in the field,” said the quadruple world champion. “Now I wish for him a better car that does justice to his talent in 2022,” Vettel told the Swiss newspaper Blick.
