M Schumacher is coming

[truefan72]

Mick Schumacher clinched the F3 title at Hockenhiem this weekend. This is the title that opened the door of F1 to Max Verstapenn.


What next for the young Schumacher? He may probably head to F2, whatever he does, there is some certainty that we shall be seeing this young man in F1 in the near future. The real question is, would he wearing Red or silver race suit. The future of F1 just got brighter with the prospect of seeing the Schumacher name on the F1 grid in the near future.

From what I understand, there have been quiet complaints and whispers up and down that Euro F3 paddock about exactly what is/was going on with Mick Shumachers car that miraculously became the fastest car on the grid by miles midway through the season. Before that, his car and performances were at best average and his results reflected that. In all my years of watching motor racing, no driver typically is average (or slightly below) for a year and a half then suddenly is lights out fast, blowing away his competition and his teammates, who had previously beaten him soundly. Even if he had an average car, his quality would shine through But the Prema Powerteam car is one of the best in F3 and his teammates were all doing extremely well with him lagging behind severely in 4th, then all of a sudden he becomes unstoppable. Ridiculous.

you can see this uncanny trajectory if you scroll down to the drivers championship on this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_F...n_Championship

And he finished 12 in the series in 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_F...n_Championship
with all 3 of his teammates that year blowing him away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prema_Powerteam

So...no, I don't rate him that highly and suspect things are going on behind the scenes to artificially inflate his quality, and particular car.
