Sakhir (dpa) - He is no ordinary Formula 1 rookie.
The word “enrichment” is not uncommon.
Mick Schumacher is the son of the world-famous seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
The 22-year-old, who grew up sheltered in Switzerland by Lake Geneva, is all the more in focus at the season opener in Bahrain.
Only a few people form his direct personal environment.
Mick Schumacher also trusts people who were already part of his father's career, who is still recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury after his skiing accident at the end of 2013.
Since the fall in the Swiss Alps, the now 52-year-old record champion has disappeared from the public.

CORINNA SCHUMACHER, THE MOTHER: The 52-year-old knows racing.
She has been married to Michael Schumacher since 1995, experienced the sporting heights of the record world champion, but also knows worries and fears.
She also supported Mick's great desire to become a racing driver himself with all her might.
The former European champion in western riding also runs the CS Ranch, an imposing riding facility on which daughter Gina also laid the foundation for her way to the top of the world in western riding.
SABINE KEHM, THE MANAGER: She has been working for the Schumachers since the end of 1999 and saw how Mick - born on March 22, 1998 - grew up.
The 56-year-old former journalist is the manager of Michael and Mick.
She accompanies the record world champion son during the races, arranges interview requests and conducts negotiations.
But she also helped Corinna Schumacher and the entire family significantly when she was the first point of contact after Michael Schumacher's accident.
KAI SCHNAPKA, THE TRAINER AND PHYSIOTHERAPIST: The 42-year-old already looked after his father Michael Schumacher when he made his comeback in Formula 1 from 2010 to the end of 2012. The Leipzig native now ensures Mick Schumacher's fitness before and during the season and is involved in the races as is now the case in Bahrain.

PETER KAISER, COMPANION IN KART AND EARLY FORMULA CLASSES: One of Michael Schumacher's best friends.
He too: a trained car mechanic.
The two buddies once founded the Kerpener karting team KSM together.
Kaiser has been living with his family in Switzerland since 2012.
A close confidante.
In his early years, Kaiser was almost always at Mick Schumacher's side as a supervisor.
THILO DAMM, LAWYER AND ADVICE: He has been the family's lawyer for many years.
The lawyer was once employed by Willi Weber, Michael Schumacher's former manager.
When Sabine Kehm took over management, Damm also switched to the Schumachers in 2010.
