    I loved watching Michael, and I really want Mick to be successful...but that might be an overstatement. Is he as capable as half the grid, maybe, but not definitively better. I'd love to see him get another shot.

    I'm getting a Robert de Niro moment. Great and iconic actor.......I'll just leave it that.

    Todt was with the "Dream Team"........and I'll just leave it at that.

    I swear, the older these guys get, the more clueless they become.

    I guess his loyalty to Michael Schumacher after years of sharing success is clouding his judgement.

    Someone must have prompted him to say that ... Ralph Schumacher ?

    He did not show that kind of promise in his first go at it.

    Better than Sargeant and Zhou, possibly Lance. That's about it.

    Not much better at all. Slow to adapt, learn and win, and quick to make mistakes and crash. Sorry dont care who the father is. He lacks talent overall. Not impressive. Ralf still trying to sell the world on him but its clear the market speaks. He has no seat for a reason. None listed should remain in F1. None.

    He had his shot, didn't exactly look out of this world.

    He beat Mazepin, then got smoked by Magnussen who is regularly being beaten by Hulkenberg who has never even scored a podium in F1.

    Jean must be joking or he's senile. Mick belongs in demolition derby, unless of course he can bring as much money as perez and then he can go back to crashing F1 cars.

    To be fair to Ralf, Ralf was massively underrated IMO. He was always seen as the useless Schumacher but he was constantly being compared to arguably the best F1 driver of all time when very few others were getting wins.

    alpine reporting Mick and Jack Doohan had a head to head test and Mick was the clear winner. Apparently they’re waiting for Sainz decision before going further with either

    The seat will probably go down to who the sponsors prefer.
