Mick Schumacher

I wish Mick was driving under an alias. Too many people putting too much expectation on his shoulders.

When I raced in the Pirelli Ferrari series there was a canny high profile celebrity driver who donned an alias. It worked well and removed all the negative crap that armchair experts would have otherwise thrown at him.

 

After the first F2 race weekend, the results for Mick Schumacher and team mate Robert Schwartzman is this:

First race: Schwartzman 3rd, Schumacher 11th.
Second race: Schwartzman 4th, Schumacher 7th.

Schwartzman 23 points, Schumacher 2 points.

 

Bad day at the office

 

I said a long time ago here: up to now Mick is as good as Stroll. Too much hype. Unfortunately the politics will put him on Alfa Romeo next year.

 

Albon was pretty average in F2 yet seems comfortable in F1. Perhaps the same will happen with Mick?

 

Excuse me, Albon is at least 0.5sec. slower than Verstappen on the same tire.

 

Maybe......Albon is somewhat handicapped. Max has a new front wing while Albon has an old one during Qualifying and going into the race.

 

Case closed. Q.E.D.

 

Stroll has been quite fast in Austria

 

Albon has good race craft

 

Alfa boss was very quick to pour the cold water on Mick recently. Stated Mick needed to concentrate on F2. This does not sound like automatic promotion to Alfa at all. I dont see MS quality in Mick yet.

 

Yet I read that some people here think he should be promoted to Alfa Romeo ASAP, and join the Scuderia soon after!!

 

Please. Did you even see the race? and the sprint race?

 

We'll never see that again anywhere.
Michael was on another level in his prime.
Crap car ? No worries.

 

crashed in free practice

 

Schumacher goes 19th fastest while Shwartzman goes 6th. StyrianGP 2020 race 2.

 

Did Mick say that Vettel is his idol?

 

A friend of mine just sent me a comment and I had to share. Sorry if it doesn't sound funny in English:
"Shwartzman is putting a Russian nuclear submarine in Schumacher's ass"

 

The Hunt for Red October

 

The expectations is just too much. I wish Michael was around to coach both Vettel and Mick.

 

Results today:

Shwartzman: P1
Schumacher: P4

 

BOOM!!! (StyrianGP 2020 Race 2)
