Sebastian Vettel says that while he would like to see Mick Schumacher at Aston Martin, he has no say in who will replace him in F1 next year
Vettel has long taken a close interest in Schumacher's career, in much the same way as Mick's father Michael tried to help Vettel when he emerged as a star of the karting scene.
"Obviously I spoke to Lawrence yesterday [Wednesday] and told him that I'm not going to continue," said Vettel."I do have my opinion. I mean, I think very highly of Mick. I'm obviously not entirely objective, because I'm very close to him. But I do think he's a great driver."And he's a learner, he keeps learning when others sort of stall, or stop making progress.
Reacting to Vettel's departure on Thursday, Schumacher said his compatriot would"leave a huge hole in the sport".
