Michael Schumacher’s Former F1 Teammate Jos Verstappen Celebrates Major Milestone

The Schumacher family has something wonderful to celebrate – they’re about to welcome their first grandchild. Gina Schumacher, daughter of racing legend Michael Schumacher, is pregnant with a baby girl.

The little one is due to arrive in mid-April 2025, marking a joyous new chapter for the famous racing family.

It’s not Mick Schumacher, the former F1 driver, who’s becoming a parent – but rather his sister Gina who’s expecting. The news has brought excitement to fans worldwide who’ve followed the Schumacher family’s journey over the years.

Interestingly, this baby announcement comes right after three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen shared his own exciting news – he’s also going to be a first-time parent.

There’s a touching connection here that many racing fans might appreciate. Max’s father, Jos Verstappen, was actually Michael Schumacher’s teammate at Benetton in the early ’90s. The two dads were pretty close, even giving joint interviews where they talked about their young sons possibly becoming F1 drivers someday.

That prediction turned out to be spot-on for both families – though they probably never imagined their children would be expecting babies around the same time.
