Fernando Alonso apologizes to Schumacher

After the F1 race in Turkey, Fernando Alonso apologized to German Mick Schumacher, whom he hit and spun in the first lap of the race. The Spaniard started the race from fifth place, but was involved in a collision with Pierre Gasly, who also spun him on the track. The two-time world champion then tried to break back among the points winners, colliding with Schumacher, for which the commissioners penalized him with a 5-second penalty and two penalty points. “I tried to overtake him and I thought I was already at his race car, but I was a little late,” Alonso admitted. "We hit, unfortunately it spun. I'm sorry for the collision, which wouldn't have happened if I hadn't fallen to 14th place. I shouldn't have been in that place."

formula 1

Nikita Mazepin hit after Haas teammate Mick Schumacher, who allegedly obstructed him and consequently blamed the Russian for having to report to the commissioners as he obstructed Sebastian Vettl in a quick lap. Despite not being penalized for the qualifying incident, Mazepin will start the F1 race in Zandvoort from last place, just behind Schumacher, and the friction between the two racers reached a new peak when they fought for a place at the end of the first part of the qualification on the track. The scuffle ended when they were overtaken by Vettel, an Aston Martin racer who had to brake hard to prevent a collision. https://twitter.com/F1/status/1434145570680152066 “A catastrophe happened,” Mazepin said. "In Formula 1, one race is first on the track and the next is second. This time I was on

Free choice of Alfa Romeo racers for the 2022 season

formula 1

Alfa Romeo will choose the racing team for next season according to its assessment and wishes next season, and the choice will no longer be influenced by Ferrari, which has had a say in choosing one of the racers since 2018. In the 2018 season, Ferrari put Charles Leclerc in one of the race cars, and the following year, Monaco advanced to Ferrari and was replaced by Antonio Giovinazzi. Team boss Fred Vasseur has revealed, however, that they will remain open to racers from Ferrari’s Young Racers Academy, meaning they have the option to seat both Giovinazzi as well as backup racer Callum Ilot, Mick Schumacher, as well as Robert Schwartzman. Alfa Romeo will continue to work with the Sauber team until the end of 2024.

I never thought I would ever be able to say that," the new Haas racer said in an interview with Bild am Sonntag. "But I'm really looking forward to it." For of all the new colleagues in Formula 1, he is closest to Vettl, who is twelve years older. “The self is the one I’ve been dealing with the most

COULTHARD: MICK will have to master MAZEPINA quickly

formula 1

Formula 2 rivals Schumacher and Mazepin will form a racing duo of newcomers to Haas in the 2021 season, as the Americans decided to completely change the racing alliance and therefore did not renew their contracts with Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean. Mick, the son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, is a member of Ferrari’s Academy of Young Racers and a natural step forward would be to race in the future for the team his father dominated for five years (2000-2005) in Formula 1. But the 21-year-old The German gained a reputation as a slow starter in the lower categories before finally showing his quality. Coulthard believes he doesn’t have exactly that much time on his side in Formula One. "I saw him progress from the lower formulas. He is focused, perfectly physically fit

MICK SCHUMACHER in defense of LEWIS HAMILTON: Nothing goes without saying

formula 1

Mick Schumacher will not be putting pressure on the gas in Formula 1 races until March next year, but that doesn’t stop him from getting involved in the most frequently mentioned debates in the royal class of motorsport. Following Max Verstappn’s comment on Lewis Hamilton’s dominance, Michael Schumacher’s son has sided with the Mercedes star. “If we look at champions who have been very dominant at certain stages, there is often a risk that some things will be overlooked,” Mick Schumacher said in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. And in doing so, the 21-year-old draws on Verstappn’s statement that Hamilton’s successes are primarily related to the dominant Mercedes race car. "I have a great deal of respect for what they've achieved. I'm not frustrated that Lewis is sitting in a Mercedes. But if I'm from

SAINZ in the long-distance fight with SCHUMACHER for the 2023 season at FERRARI?

Ferrari

Mattia Bonotto, the boss of the Ferrari team, has to successfully complete a somewhat compensatory act. On the one hand, he wants to give the fans hope that Mick Schumacher will be sitting in the red race car, and on the other hand, he must not offend his current racers. And on Carlos Sainz’s first working day, the Italian didn’t quite make it. The site of the “crime” was Ferrari’s Christmas video conference with reporters. The question arose: When will we see Ferrari junior Mick Schumacher in red? Binott's response: "Ferrari's Academy of Young Racers was not set up to attract Formula 1 racers, but to be the next Ferrari racer. Today, it is too early to make a decision, but there are speculations that Mick could be seen in the red in 2023." Well more obvious and direct almost

BERGER: We shouldn't push MICK into MICHAEL's father's shoes

formula 1

Just because he bears the famous last name, Mick Schumacher's expectations before his premiere season in Formula 1 are very special. Michael Schumacher's son has proved with his titles in Formula 3 and finally Formula 2 that he is definitely qualified in the field of sports. “In Schumacher’s way, he handled one championship after another and if he didn’t immediately win the title, he did it again to really learn that focus on the championship,” so former Formula 1 racer Gerhard Berger on Servus TV, who in the young German see great potential. "I believe he has Schumacher's genes and will make his way in Formula 1."

At HAAS, enthusiastic about MICK SCHUMACHER

Haas

The numbers don’t always tell the truth. If we were to take as a criterion only the timeline of the test of young racers in Abu Dhabi, then Mick Schumacher’s fans should already be concerned now that he has reached the last place. But for the Formula 2 champion and his team Haas, this is completely irrelevant, as Mick had different goals on the Yas Marina Circuit track and not a fast lap time. As the only team to take part in this test, Haas focused on only one race car: for Mick Schumacher. This was his second appearance in this year's Haas VF-20 race car, as he made his first on Friday, December 11, at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix free practice. Young Schumacher worked on the balance of the car in the morning and was mostly on the track with a medium C4 tire mix. He did long distances in the afternoon, pr

After leaving the pits, he came back in the same lap. "We have a sensor in the gloves that has become independent. I didn't want to throw it in the cockpit while driving, so I
