Mick Schumacher was among the contenders for a seat at Sauber for next season, but the team opted for Gabriel Bortoleto. Former driver Ralf Schumacher thinks that his cousin now has virtually no chance of returning to Formula 1.
“Formula 1 is a crazy company,” Ralf shared his opinion about the German Sky Sport. – Now the question is who will be a reserve player in which team. Or will Mick now concentrate on his endurance racing career?
Unfortunately, a return to Formula 1 is virtually impossible for Mick. Only if someone cannot perform due to an injury.”
At the same time, Ralph supported Sauber’s choice to invite debutant Bortoleto to the team: “It is good that the team has decided to invite a young driver who won the Formula 3 title and is now leading Formula 2 By the way, this is Oscar Piastri’s level.
A young rider must express himself and not make mistakes. It won’t be easy at Sauber because they have a very bad car.
In addition, there are rumors that most of the team was sold to Qatari investors for economic reasons. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the decision was made in favor of Bortoleto. I think the team has a good combination of young talent and experienced Nico Hulkenberg.”
