The German driver explained why he likes the country so much and what fascinates him about America.
“It’s mainly because it’s different. I wouldn’t say I’m a one-sided person – I’m very versatile in the stuff that I like. For example, Australia is a place I love, it could be the mountains in the north of Norway or even Switzerland but in America… My sister says that the sky seems bigger in the States, and it’s true in a way!” said Schumacher.

He then mentioned how recently a police officer stopped him but also let him look inside his police car.
“Out there, it’s flat and where we are in Texas is very flat. The people are always very nice – I got stopped by a police officer last year and he was super kind and let me have a look at his car and there’s just a nice feeling to it,” said the Haas driver.
