“Based on performance, not on marketing” - Helmut Marko hits back at Ralf Schumacher over Mick
Schumacher stated that Marko opted for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nyck de Vries over his nephew - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher - for “personal reasons”.
“It seems 🍨that Helmut Marko has a pr♏oblem with the Schumacher name,” he said.
“Even though I have a good exchange with him personally, it seems he has some problem with Mick because otherwise, it’s not understanda🙈ble to me why it didn’t work out from the beginning.
“To be honest, I don’t see anyone else in the squad who would fit in there at the moment. “𝔍That’s wh🌜y I’m surprised by what Dr. Helmut Marko is doing.”
Mick was dropped by Haꦦas at the end of 2022, leaving him without a drive.
AlphaTauri was a potential option but with de Vries starring in his one-off outing with Williams at Monza, he got the nod🍎.
As a result, Mick joined Mercedes as their third driver for F1 2023.
“I have no problem with the name Schumacher,” Marko told oe24. “For me Michael Schumacher is the greatest.
“I talk to Ralf regularly. But he is confusing one thinღg: our F1 programme is based on performance, not on marketing.”
It’s unsure whether Mick will rejoin the grid in 2024, with Wi🍒lliams seemingly his only option for next year.
