For almost a decade, my mom and I have kept one tradition. Wherever Formula 1 races that weekend, that is where dinner comes from. Melbourne sends us to the Australian coast. Suzuka brings Japan into our kitchen. Monza means Italy, and a very long lunch.

What began as a way to watch together became the best part of our week. A country we have never visited. An ingredient we have never bought. An hour side by side at the stove before the lights go out. Somewhere between the first course and the checkered flag, it stopped being dinner and became ours.

For years we joked that it should be a cookbook. Now we are writing it, together, one race at a time.

Podium Plates is more than a book to us. It is a reason to keep building something side by side, to keep learning the places we have only seen on a screen, and to follow this sport a little closer with every season. Support it, and you are not only backing a cookbook. You are pulling up a chair at our table, and coming along for whatever comes next.

Mick Schumacher

German racing driver

Formula 2 Champion at Haas

Mick Schumacher raced two seasons for Haas in 2021 and 2022 after winning the FIA Formula 3 and Formula 2 championships.

Born in Vufflens le Château in Switzerland and racing for Germany, Mick Schumacher won the FIA European Formula 3 championship with Prema and then the 2020 Formula 2 title. As a Ferrari academy driver he joined Haas for 2021, making his debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix, though the team scored no points that year.

In 2022 he scored his first points with eighth at the British Grand Prix and followed it with sixth in Austria, his best result. Haas released him at the end of that season, after 43 starts. He spent time as a reserve driver for Mercedes and McLaren, raced in the World Endurance Championship with Alpine and moved to IndyCar in 2026.

0 world titles, 0 wins, 0 pole positions, 43 starts.
