But it changed all of a sudden for Schumacher Jr. as he stopped being an extrovert. He explained that climbing the ladder to F1 through F3 and F2, things have changed gradually for the new Mercedes test driver.

Furthermore, when asked about how he deals with fans as his life has become quite public now. Schumacher said that he manages a dual personality to tackle a situation like this. One as a racing driver, and another when he’s in his private space.
