Since the 90s, the Germans have seen many victories and titles won thanks to drivers like Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. However, in recent years, Formula 1 has lost its appeal among our neighbors, as evidenced by the absence of the German Grand Prix since 2019. This situation is likely to continue with Sebastian Vettel’s retirement this year. The new generation has not lived up to expectations, with disappointing performances from Mick Schumacher.<\/p>\n
The boss of AlphaTauri, Franz Tost, has lived up close the years of domination and success of the Red Baron, and has had a young Vettel under his wing before seeing him shine at Red Bull. For him, one thing is certain: people need heroes, in flesh and blood, not in metal.<\/p>\n
At the time, they wanted to see Michael Schumacher win, not the Mercedes engine or car. Only heroes trigger a “boom”. As Michael Schumacher demonstrated.<\/p>\n
\u00ab He could have become the new hero, but unfortunately, he is out of the top category for now. What a shame!<\/p>\n
The son of the seven-time world champion, Mick, could have reignited the interest, much to the dismay of the team manager based in Faenza, who would have warmly welcomed him into his team.<\/p>\n
He could have become the new hero, but unfortunately, he is out of the top category for now. What a pity!<\/p>\n
I would have liked to see him at AlphaTauri, not because of his name, but because I believe in his talent and abilities. Because he doesn’t just settle for winning the Formula 3 and Formula 2 championships. But unfortunately, it didn’t work out in the end.<\/p>\n
The general public will only really notice you if you are constantly in the spotlight. And for that, you must be a full-time driver. May Mick find his way back in the starting pack as quickly as possible. It’s not impossible, but it won’t be easy either.<\/p>\n
Mick Schumacher has signed as a reserve driver for Mercedes this season, it remains to be seen if he will secure a seat as a regular driver on the grid in 2024. However, the Germans will still be able to see Nico H\u00fclkenberg returning to Haas, which unveiled its new car livery yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
After the departures at the end of last season of Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher, the popularity of F1 is at risk of taking another hit. Franz Tost has a very strong opinion on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":110,"featured_media":34234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[964,991,1430],"class_list":["post-4478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-mercedes-amg-f1","tag-mick-schumacher","tag-vettel"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
