Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher named three teams in the Sky Deutschland broadcast, the results of which he will follow closely in the new season.
Ralf Schumacher: “First of all, you have to pay attention to Mercedes. At the end of last year, they managed to identify the car’s shortcomings and get it back up to speed without testing and without going over budget. In addition, they have a very strong pair of pilots. However, the main contenders for the title are Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing. This team is a guide to the rest.
As for Ferrari, you can expect surprises from them at any time – sometimes they can be very strong. However, I must say that their riders make a lot of mistakes, just like the team itself. Ferrari has flaws.”
Ralph also spoke a few words about his cousin Mick Schumacher, who is the reserve driver for Mercedes this season: “Mick’s presence will benefit every team. He knows modern cars, knows the circuits. In addition, the collaboration with Mercedes is a great opportunity for him. In theory, he can take four training sessions during the season, increasing his chances of a lead pilot contract.
