Mick Schumacher's suspicious rise in form

Author of the article: , published September 25, 2018.

After Dan Ticktum said Schumacher’s son’s form had inexplicably risen to the highest level, speculation was even raised about possible fraud.

Mick Schumacher showed exceptional form in the last Formula 3 races, winning five times in a row and taking a strong lead in the championship scoring. A similarly good form was shown by his teammate at Prema, Robert Schwartzman, who finished the last six races on the podium, once also at the top.

Dan Ticktum, a racer at the Red Bull Academy of Young Racers, was the leader in the championship until Schumacher's awakening, and only twice in the last eleven races, and now behind the young German, who is already publicly engaged to both Ferrari and Red Bull. he is 49 points behind, and 75 more are available by the end of the season. To become a champion this year, he would need a real little miracle, which is why he wrote on his Instagram profile: “I would not like to point a finger, but this weekend the car did not have the right speed. Mainly because of the settings. In the last race, when we managed to improve the car, we were pretty fast and climbed from seventh place to fourth.

But compared to the leading racers, no one in this starting lineup had a chance. Even their teammates, who are good racers, weren’t even close. I would describe their form as interesting and I'm sure many in the F1 paddock would agree with me. "

He then deleted the post, but the flames were lit and many spectators and fans interpreted his statement under the comments, each in his own way. Some were convinced that he was even hinting at cheating, to which Ticktum replied: “It is not a matter of badly enduring defeat. I'm not even bitter. I have a lot of respect for Mick, who has spent a lot in recent years. I just said that his form suddenly improved greatly. I never claimed it was anything illegal. I know I still have a lot to learn, I don’t deny that. But you don’t know the real story, as you’re not on the track to see the telemetry data of all the race cars. I am therefore sorry to inform you that your opinion carries no weight in these circumstances.

Unfortunately, I cannot win this battle because I do not call myself Schumacher, ”he added.
