Formula 1 driver: Mick Schumacher changes his profile picture – a renewed declaration of love to father Michael

Michael Schumacher quietly turned 54 on January 3rd. On this occasion, too, nothing came out about the current state of health of the former racing driver, who suffered serious head injuries in a skiing accident nine years ago. But his family has shown again and again in recent weeks that they stick by him - especially son Mick Schumacher.

For his father's birthday, Mick posted a picture on his social media channels that showed him as a boy with the seven-time Formula 1 world champion. "Happy Birthday to the best dad ever. Love you!" he wrote. Now the 23-year-old has changed his profile picture on Twitter and Facebook. And that too is a declaration of love to his father.

The new profile photo shows Mick Schumacher as a child. Michael Schumacher carries him on his arms. Mick has been using this photo as a profile picture on Instagram for a long time. The picture was apparently taken on the edge of a race track, at least Papa Schumacher is wearing a racing suit. Mick Schumacher has a special relationship with his father as he follows in his footsteps in sport. Schumacher also opted for a career in racing and has driven for Team Haas in Formula 1 for the past two years.

After his contract was not extended, this year he is a test and reserve driver at Mercedes - the racing team where his father once ended his career. "A lot of people from the racing scene say that we are similar. We are both meticulous workers, we dive deep into topics. Dad always wanted to develop the whole team and not just himself. That's my approach too," explained Mick Schumacher in the last summer in the stern interview.
