Confidants, companions, supporters: the Mick Schumacher cosmos

He is no ordinary Formula 1 newcomer. The word “enrichment” is not uncommon. Mick Schumacher is the son of the world-famous seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher. The 22-year-old, who grew up sheltered in Switzerland on Lake Geneva, is particularly in focus at the season opener in Bahrain. Only a few people form his immediate personal environment. Mick Schumacher also trusts people who were already part of his father's career, who is still recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury after his skiing accident at the end of 2013. Since the fall in the Swiss Alps, the now 52-year-old record champion has disappeared from the public eye. CORINNA SCHUMACHER, THE MOTHER: The 52-year-old knows racing. She has been married to Michael Schumacher since 1995, experienced the record world champion's sporting heights, but also knows worries and fears. She also supported Mick's great desire to become a racing driver herself with all her might. The former European champion in western riding also runs the CS Ranch, an impressive riding facility where daughter Gina also laid the foundation for her path to the top of the world in western riding. SABINE KEHM, THE MANAGER: She has been working for the Schumachers since the end of 1999 and experienced how Mick – born on March 22, 1998 – grew up. The 56-year-old former journalist is Michael and Mick's manager. She accompanies the record world champion son at the races, handles interview requests and conducts negotiations. But she also helped Corinna Schumacher and the entire family significantly when she was the first point of contact after Michael Schumacher's accident. KAI SCHNAPKA, THE TRAINER AND PHYSIOTHERAPIST: The 42-year-old already looked after his father Michael Schumacher during his comeback in Formula 1 from 2010 to the end of 2012. The Leipzig native now ensures Mick Schumacher's fitness before and during the season and takes part in the races, as is now also the case in Bahrain. PETER KAISER, COMPANION IN KARTING AND THE EARLY FORMULA CLASSES: One of Michael Schumacher's best friends. He too: a trained car mechanic. The two friends once founded the Kerpen kart team KSM together. Kaiser has been living in Switzerland with his family since 2012. A close confidant. In his early years, Kaiser was almost always at Mick Schumacher's side as a supervisor. THILO DAMM, LAWYER AND ADVISOR: He is the family's longtime lawyer. The lawyer was once employed by Willi Weber, Michael Schumacher's former manager. When Sabine Kehm took over management, Damm also moved to the Schumachers in 2010. Max Verstappen dominated Friday training for the first GP of the season on Sunday (1 p.m.) in Bahrain.

It is a small and, above all, a very familiar circle that Mick Schumacher relies on. They are people who Formula 1 fans already know from their father Michael's racing days.
