Corinna Schumacher angrily confronted Williams team principal James Vowles over his comments about her son.
Mick Schumacher was in contention to race for the team until the end of this season after Vowles decided to replace the struggling Logan Sargeant. But the German was overlooked and youngster Franco Colapinto was promoted from the team’s academy instead.
That decision will have disappointed Corinna, wife of seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael. But what angered her were Vowles’ comments when he was later asked to explain why Mick, a Mercedes reserve who spent two years racing for Haas, was not chosen.

“And there’s good reason behind it. That is because he’s an incredibly strong candidate. And the word special? I use it in the context of multiple world champions like Ayrton Senna fundamentally, Lewis [Hamilton] as well. Clearly that’s a foolish thing to do, because that’s the comparison.
