Dismantling in Formula 1? “He has to go back to Formula 2”


Degradation in Formula 1?

Formula 1 is the highest class in formula racing and most drivers work their way into the premier league of motorsport via Formula 3 and Formula 2, among other things. The return trip never happens, however, but that might not be a bad idea for some drivers.

Solid weekend

In the new episode of the Dutch podcast Slipstream, Allard Kalff and Kees van de Grint discuss developments at Haas this season. The two talk about Mick Schumacher. “He drove a solid weekend.

Verstappen and Hamilton praise each other: “But you tell the press that.”

“Last week we talked about the Super League and that you can get worse,” Van de Grint compares to football. “I would still suggest that a driver like Mazepin drive certain decent laps and otherwise return to Formula 2 as well.”

Mazepin was driven by Schumacher for over a minute last weekend and again made unnecessary mistakes, for example Sergio Perez in the way when he was put on a lap.
