Mick Schumacher spoils the party for Sebastian Vettel after crashing into his godfather and retiring him from a scoring race.
Sebastian Vettel was in a good position to score at least two points from the race after starting the race from the pitlane. But the party was soon spoilt by his own godson Mick Schumacher.
In the final few laps of the race, the German race driver smashed his car into his compatriot. The four-time world champion instantly went airborne and went out of the track limits.
At that moment, it was race over for Vettel, and he went into the pitlane. On the other hand, even Schumacher was heading towards his first race points in his career, which are much awaited.
But this collision buried those chances. Nevertheless, for Aston Martin, the points were really crucial as their season started on an underwhelming note. Thus, a heated reaction by Vettel on the radio was warranted.
Ah Vettel’s spin was caused by Schumacher hitting his sidepod – that might end their bromance pretty swiftly.#F1 #Formula1 #MiamiGP #MiamiGrandPrix #MickSchumacher #SebastianVettel pic.twitter.com/pXqqaCx8g2

Seb & Mick haven‘t seen each other yet.
Seb said he didn‘t expect Mick there, and once he did, it was too late. He said he has to look at the incident again.“I’m sorry we’re both out.”#MiamiGP

Oh, what a bummer for Mick Schumacher. Looked like he was in position to score points and then collides with his mentor Sebastian Vettel.
