Micklore for dummies his racing history
here's part 2, random important micklore
so, Mick, well like his last name is important ig but also he is esteban ocons best friend so priorities anyway, when he was karting he drove under his second name 'junior' and his moms name 'Betsch' he mostly raced with Tony Kart. during the start of his single seater career and a bit during karting Mercedes sponsored him, did a few sponsor things with them too.
when he got to F4 he started using the Schumacher name and in 2015 he signed with van Amersfoort racing he didnt accomplish much with them but in 2016 he signed with Prema racing, an italian racing team closely connected to Ferrari and later in 2019 he signed with the Ferrari Drivers Academy.
with Prema he finished second twice in Italian F4 and ADAC F4. then in 2017 he got to F3, where he finished 12th in his first season and 1st in his second. so in 2019 he moved to F2 where he again finished 12th in his first season and 1st in his second.
in his second F2 season he was a test driver for both Haas and Alfa Romeo. later in 2021 after his F2 win he ended up signing with Haas in F1. in his first season he ended 19th in the championship not getting any points. in his second season he ended 16th with 12 points. during this period he was still an FDA driver and reserve driver for Ferrari.
in 2023 he is going to be the full time Mercedes reserve driver.
under the read more there are important names and races in Micks single seater career.
important names that go along with Micks racing career.
Callum Ilott, his F3 teammate and 2020 Championship rival. he was also part of the FDA.
Robert Shwartzman, his 2020 F2 teammate and also part of the FDA.
Sean Gelael, his 2019 F2 teammate.
Nikita Mazepin, his 2021 Haas teammate.
Kevin Magnussen, his 2022 Haas teammate.
Gary Gannon, his F1 race engineer.
do I have to mention Seb? anyway yeah Sebastian Vettel, one of his closest friends and mentor.
Antoine Okla, his F2 race engineer.
Paul Beauvie, part of Micks F2 team.
Rene Rosin, Prema racing's TP.
Important races and moments in Micks racing career:
Monza, 2020. his first race win in Formula 2.
Silverstone 2021, his first F1 points.
Austria 2021 sprint. mick defending his lil ass off.
in F3 he won 5 races in a row. race 22 til 26 of the 2018 season.
during the 2020 Monza feature race, he qualified P7 and got to P2 in the first corner.
there's probably more stuff and obviously more you can learn about Mick at all times but IMO these are the most important basic mick facts to know.

I keep seeing people surprised that Lando & Mick get along. Do fans not realise that they have known each other since they were literal children? Lando raced more against Mick on the world karting stage & in single seaters than he did George, Alex, Max or Charles. Lando has told a few times the story of how he knew Michael a little because he & Mick competed full international karting seasons together in 2012 & 2013 before Michael's accident (which was the end of 2013), and as Lando & Mick were friendly, Michael would sometimes give Lando encouragement & talk karting set-ups with him & his dad. Mick didn't join Lando in WSK karting seniors in 2014 because of Michael's accident meaning he couldn't do a full karting season, but they also raced each other in 2015 when Lando guest appeared in Italian F4 & ADAC during Mick's stints in those championship and raced together in 2017 in their first (and Lando's only) year in Euro F3. They've known each other a really long time.
this is the michael and lando anon i was talking about, just wanted to find some sources on this but anon thinks they were said in a stream or maybe a podcast so if anyone has any idea hit me up!
but yeah i think a lot of people forget that lando and mick did actually kart against each other (but also mick was under the name mick betsch so maybe they just didn’t realise)

Lawson replaces Ricciardo following his crash in FP2
Lawson replaces Ricciardo following his crash in FP2 By Balazs Szabo on 25 Aug 2023, 20:04 Following his crash in the second practice session, AlphaTauri driver Daniel Ricciardo has been ruled out of Dutch Grand Prix with a broken wrist, he will be replaced by Liam Lawson in the remainder of the weekend. The eight-time grand prix winner crashed at the banked Turn 3 corner in the early stages of Free Practice 2 after getting caught out by Oscar Piastri’s crash just ahead of him. The Australian was taken to hospital for further checks, and the inspection revealed that the 34-year-old had broken his wrist and thus would be unable to race this weekend. Shortly after, AlphaTauri released a statement: "After today’s incident during Free Practice 2 in Zandvoort, in which Daniel Ricciardo hit the barrier at Turn 3, he was brought to the local hospital and further examinations were carried out. "An X-ray confirmed he sustained a break to a metacarpal on his left hand, and this injury will not allow him to continue his duties, so he will be replaced by the team’s reserve driver Liam Lawson for the remainder of this weekend. The team wishes him all the best for the quickest possible recovery. Further updates will be released in due course." Red Bull and AlphaTauri's reserve driver Lawson will step in to take over Ricciardo's car and race at Zandvoort alongside Yuki Tsunoda. After finishing second in the Australian Formula 4 Championship in 2017, the New-Zealander moved to Europe to compete in Germany's ADAC F4 series where he ended up second in 2018. Next year saw Lawson race in the FIA F3 Championship, the Euroformula Open Championship and the Toyota Racing Series in which he claimed five wins en route to clinch the title. Although he won three races in the FIA F3 series in 2020, he had to settle for P5 in the drivers' championship. In 2021, he stepped up into the FIA F2 Championship where he finished ninth alongside an overall second place in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. He continued to race in the FIA F2 series last year where he claimed a third place at the end of the year. He currently competes in Japan's Super Formula where he has already clinched three wins in seven races and sits second in the standings. via F1Technical.net .

Per the F1 video of drivers and numbers - Lando’s numbers that he used before, but were already taken in F1: 11 and 31 - and I can see he used these numbers a lot :)
He had 11 in Ginetta Junior Championship in 2014. In 2015 in MSA Formula Champioship (F4) he had 31 when he drove for Carlin (He also had 6 in Italian F4 and 69 in ADAC F4 for Mucke Motorsport) while in BRDC Formula 4 Autumn Trophy he had 11 again. In 2016 he had 31 in Toyota Racing Series for M2 Competition, in British F3 Championship for Carlin he also used 31. (He also had 2 in Formula Renault for Josef Kaufmann Racing and number 4 for Carlin in F3 European Championship which was a shared number) He was using 31 in 2017 in F3 European Championship, driving for Carlin still. He drove two last races in F2 that year with number 11 (by pure luck as he replaced Boschung and again the number was shared).
So yes, no wonder he wanted to continue using one of these - but unfortunately, 11 is Checo’s since 2014 (his favorite football player had this number) and 31 was picked by Ocon in 2016 (he won karting championship with that number).
Tumblr media
I’m not exactly sure how the numbers in these lower championships work, because Carlin seems to have used the same numbers and coincidentally Carlos also used number 31 when he raced for them in British F3 back in 2012.

Mr Consistency
Mick hasn’t all of a sudden become Mr Consistency. He has ALWAYS been consistent. Let’s just take a look at his single seater career, shall we?
2015 (rookie year) ADAC F4 - 10th in the championship.  2016 (second year) ADAC F4 and Italian F4 - 2nd in BOTH championships. 2017 (rookie year) Euro F3 - 12th in the championship. 2018 (second year) Euro F3 - CHAMPION. 2019 (rookie year) F2 - 12th in the championship. 2020 (second year) F2 - 1st in the standings (season still in progress).
Even in the secondary championships, it was the same story:
2015-2016 MRF Championship (rookie year) 10th in the championship. 2016-2017 MRF Championship (second year) 3rd in the championship (Mick did not take part in all races)
So you can see that it's not a fluke, he literally follows the same pattern in everything he does: one year to learn, the other to fight for the championship.
If I were an F1 boss, I would very much appreciate this kind of consistency and reliability, because rather than hiring a potential one-hit-wonder, I would prefer to invest in someone who I know will bring results after giving him that one year to get himself used to the proceedings.
This is the reason why I think Mick SHOULD be in F1 next year. Because his work in his six seasons of single seater career have made him deserve the jump up, not because he's a Schumacher, but because he truly is Mr Consistency.

In the view of @fastf1, Frederik Vesti is up there, among the most talented drivers on the whole junior single-seater scene. - Born in Langelund, Denmark, 18 year-old Vesti enjoyed a trophy-strewn karting career before stepping up to cars and Danish Formula Ford, at the age of 14, in 2016. 4th overall was achieved, before 2017 saw Vesti move up to F4. - In the F4 Danish Championship, Vesti won 8 races and was the man to beat. However, clashes with ADAC F4 forced Vesti to miss 6 races in Danish F4, which left him 2nd overall. - Vesti finished 7th overall, in ADAC F4, which was arguably a better performance given the level of competition on offer in the German series. - 2018 saw the Dane remain in ADAC F4 for a full season, whilst also making appearances in Italian F4 (where he won 2 out of 3 races), European F3 and the Macau GP. - Vesti's second ADAC F4 campaign yielded 2 race victories and 4th overall. These F4 performances attracted the attention of the powerhouse junior squad, Prema. - The Italian squad signed Vesti to compete in Formula Regional European Championship, a newly-formed F3 category, in 2019. - Whilst grid sizes at certain events were very small, this takes nothing away from what Vesti went on to achieve across the season. - From 24 races, Vesti won 13 and often looked in a class of his own out in front, driving away from the field with apparent ease. Among his team-mates at Prema was the talented Ferrari driver Enzo Fittipaldi, who finished the season 2nd overall. - And Fittipaldi still couldn't haul himself to within 130 points of Vesti's tally, by the end of the year. With the title secured, Vesti went back to Macau and was unlucky to finish 10th after being delayed by other drivers' incidents. - Vesti has already been approached by (and turned down) F1 teams. For this year, Prema and FIA Formula 3 will be his home. 🏁🏁 | CREDITS: MOTORSPORT IMAGES | #F1 #FormulaOne #F1Pics #F1News #F12019 #ClassicF1 #F1History #F1Memes #FrederikVesti #FIAF3 #RoadToF1 #PremaRacing #ScuderiaFerrari #FerrariF1 #CL16 #AA23 #RenaultF1 #McLarenRenault #CS55 #HondaF1 #SV5 #RenaultF1Team #KM20 #HaasF1 #TeamLH #LH44 #MV33 #DR3 #MichaelSchumacher #KeepFightingMichael https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTP2R4Bxwl/?igshid=1gqflull0k4ep
