Haas driver Mick’s dad Michael is a seven-time world champion – tied with Lewis Hamilton who also beat his legendary 91-race win record.
Yet the German claimed his old man remains the best after insisting that he understands the constant comparisons with the 53-year-old.
Speaking last year to Bild, he said: “I’m OK with that, all the questions and comparisons with my father do not bother me.
“For me, he is the all-time best in this sport, to which he has given his all. I don’t see why I should disregard that.”
Schumacher Sr suffered a severe head trauma in a skiing accident in 2013.
The legendary German driver is thought to be continuing his recovery at a luxury villa in Majorca but his close friend and ex-Ferrari chief Jean Todt previously suggested that he may be conscious.
Vettel, who is close to the Schumacher family and grew up idolising Mick’s father, Michael, said he had briefly talked to Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll about possible replacements.
“Well obviously I spoke to Lawrence and told them that I am not going to continue,” Vettel said. “We did have a very, very brief chat about what might be next.

“I do have my opinion. I think very highly of Mick. I’m obviously not entirely objective because I am very close to him, but I do think he’s a great driver.
“He’s a learner, he keeps learning when others sort of stall or stop making progress. So he does have a lot of qualities, but he is also very young still.
“So I don’t know. It’s not my decision. If I am asked I will give my opinion, but in the end the team have to make that decision.”
