After the race, the two punches shared. Then the two Germans had some deep conversations, possibly about the technical details of their individual breeds. But the moment of surprise came when they went a step further and did what no one else really does!
Mick took Vettel to his parked Haas F1 car and then started talking to him. Vettel showed interest and pointed to parts of the car.

With a closer look from Mick’s on-board camera, we can see him removing his headrest and explaining something unknown about his car.
Vettel is no stranger to inspecting his rivals’ cars for more information. And with his technical skills and experience, he would certainly have given Mick some valuable input. Unfortunately, the Haas car is needed because it is the slowest on the F1 grid.

F1 drivers are known to give each other a cold shoulder. After all, most of them fight for the same spot on the tarmac. Therefore, the close bond between Mick and Seb in the paddock is rather a rarity. And the reason for this is simple but heartwarming.

DIVE DEEPER
As we know, Mick is the son of the Formula 1 legend and seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher. Vettel grew up with his German compatriot. Not only that, but he also had the special opportunity to share the starting grid with him in 2010-12.

Michael took Vettel under his wing. The latter therefore has a soft side for the Schumachers. And Vettel has been in contact with Mick since his junior racing days. He is to Mick what Michael was to him.
