It was eleven years ago, but the memory is still very present with Mick Schumacher. Father Michael drove for Mercedes at the time and took his son with him to the Canadian Grand Prix. “I was able to look a bit behind the scenes,” said the 23-year-old on Friday at the press conference for the race on Île Notre Dame in the St. Lawrence River. At that time he also fished a little behind the tent. “I caught some fish but threw them all back in the water,” said Haas pilot Mick Schumacher.

Charles Leclerc may have to accept a starting place penalty of ten places at the Canadian Grand Prix. The discussions about the use of another new engine, with which Ferrari would already exceed the limit, are still in full swing, said the 24-year-old Formula 1 driver from Monaco on Friday at a press conference in Montréal.
“We’re not in the best position to win,” he admitted. “It’s part of our discussion to choose the best course to take a penalty.” But the track on Isle Notre-Dame is a good overtaking course which would speak for the penalty in the coming race.
Otherwise, Leclerc is convinced that Ferrari will soon be able to show the strength of the new car again on the Sundays. It is only a matter of days before the Scuderia can show the speed, said the Ferrari driver, who recently started from pole four times but was never victorious. Referring to the team’s determination, he emphasized: “I don’t have to send a message. The motivation is extremely high and we are working extremely hard as a team to win again as quickly as possible.”
In the Canadian Grand Prix this Sunday, the Monegasse will only start third overall behind the leading defending champion Max Verstappen from Red Bull and his teammate Sergio Perez. Leclerc is 34 points behind the top.
After his T-shirt campaign in the Montréal paddock, Sebastian Vettel also wants to use his helmet to draw attention to environmental sins in North America at the Canadian Grand Prix. What is happening in Alberta is a crime, Vettel said on Friday at the press conference for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. “It’s a horror for nature. Something like that shouldn’t be allowed,” emphasized the soon to be 35-year-old four-time world champion, who has also been using the Formula 1 forum for some time to campaign for human rights and environmental issues. On Thursday he biked to the track wearing a T-shirt with the inscription “Stop tar sand mining – Canada’s climate crime”.
According to Greenpeace, the extraction of oil from the clay and sand mixture differs massively from the conventional extraction of crude oil. The oil sand layer is therefore about 30 meters deep. To get there, Canada’s primeval forests have been cleared and the topsoil removed. Only then can the mixture of sand, clay and above all the tar-like oil be lifted out of the ground. “Many people in Canada, in the world, don’t know anything about it,” emphasized Vettel: “It’s about thinking about future generations.”
