A shock for the Schumacher family: Michael Schumacher’s son Mick is not allowed to compete for the Alpine team in the 2025 season. But the racing driver did not hear this news personally! Mick was coldly dumped via Instagram.

Too much of a good thing for Uncle Ralf Schumacher. The 49-year-old has had to Coming out already had enough to deal with people from his immediate environment, most recently with Ex-wife Cora SchumacherAnd now his nephew is being stabbed in the back by long-time family friend and Heidi Klum’s ex Flavio Briatore.

“Not a good style from Flavio”

In an interview with “bild.de“ Ralf lets his anger run free and attacks the Italian manager: “The decision for Jack Doohan and against Mick is to be respected, but I find it disappointing that Mick has to find out about it via social media. That is not good style from Flavio.”

Briatore has known the Schumacher family for over 30 years

The racing driver feels betrayed by his friend and expressed his hurt feelings to Sky about his uncooperative behavior: “Obviously he has lost part of what he used to be.” He also thinks it’s a “great shame” because they have known each other for “over 30 years.” Briatore secured Michael Schumacher a place in Formula 1 in 1991, and they then became world champions together in 1994 and 1995. A close friendship developed between the then Benetton team boss and the family.

It is precisely because of this connection to his brother, who has been kept out of the public eye after his serious skiing accident in 2013, that Flavio’s behavior towards Mick is particularly difficult for Ralf to understand: “Favio celebrated great successes with Michael and was closely connected to the Schumacher family.” In the eyes of the 49-year-old, Mick should have at least heard the news of the end of the season by phone.
