“It’s hard to pick a favorite because there are so many incredible moments…Tell me what you remember when you think of Michael.”
As one F1 fan commented:
“Ferrari’s Suzuka 2000. Or Mercedes’ Monaco 2012… it could have been more pole!”
Another follower replied:
“On the track, if he’s talking about his Mercedes-Benz days, it’s easily his pole lap at Monaco in 2012. Off the track, Nico’s microphone at the 2012 German Grand Prix press conference. would be plotting with Seb to mess with the ‘meeting. “
