Mick Schumacher crashed the car on lap forty-eighth of the Monaco Grand Prix. For the Haas driver, this is the second major accident of the season. Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher believes his cousin can no longer afford such mistakes.
“Other riders passed that corner in the race without any problems, but Mick didn’t,” said Ralf Schumacher in the broadcast of the German TV channel Sky. – At first I thought he hit the fence with a tangent, which led to a slow puncture, but then it turned out that he just drove off the track – such mistakes cannot be allowed.
Not only did Mick ruin his race, he also crashed the car badly, which would have serious consequences for the team’s budget. Mick must understand that such mistakes should not be repeated – there is no doubt about it.
Ralph also commented on Ferrari’s strategy for the race that cost Charles Leclerc the win: “Ferrari decided to split the strategy between their drivers and that made sense initially as Leclerc was very fast on wet tyres. However, their mistake was that they reacted too late to Sergio Pérez’s cut.
Carlos Sainz wanted to switch to slicks and Charles had to stay on track. As a result, the team was in the perfect storm, benefiting Perez. It’s hard to fight for the title when you make mistakes like that.
This mistake tells me one thing: Ferrari has to relearn how to make the right decisions in the battle for victory in the race. They haven’t been in similar situations in years. Red Bull has learned a lot in recent years in a tough battle with Mercedes, who have traditionally been strong in their strategy. Now Red Bull is benefiting from the experience.”
