RTL-Moderator Florian König hopes that there will soon be more German drivers in formula 1. In 2010, seven German were (!) in the start field. Ten years later, there is only one (Sebastian Vettel). And those Junior classes that make a direct leap into the Grand Prix Sport is at least theoretically possible, are ascension candidates in short supply.

“Sebastian Vettel,” said the king, in the formula 1-Podcast “Starting Grid”, “in his 30s” and will not go any more “forever”. Therefore, it would be, in his opinion, “great”, when Mick Schumacher made the leap and “we could have just a second German driver on the Grid. Perhaps 2021.”

But: “This of course depends somehow on whether and how this year can still be driven. What is the formula 2, which is when the season goes down? Mick manages to still the jump, or he goes and then next year again, formula 2, and then the following year, only formula 1? The are still many question marks.”

Mick Schumacher already in 2021 in the formula 1?

The route to 2020 for Schumacher must ascend to win to be clear: in the formula 2 race, ideally on a Friday trainings for Alfa Romeo, deny, 2021 in the formula 1. So far, the 21-Year-old self didn’t think of that again in front of the Coronavirus pandemic: “First, I’m going to drive formula 2. For me, that is my focus.”

“of Course it is nice to think of the future, but first must be in the formula 2, a performance there, to go in the formula 1,” said Schumacher in an Interview with ‘Motorsport-Total.com’. It was “important to go to the top”, and “ideally in the Top 5. This is what I imagine for myself.” And then, “look, what are the options”.

The formula-1-Nation, Germany has high hopes in the Ferrari Junior, who will go to 2020, when the season begins once again, for the Prema Team of Lawrence Stroll to the Start. Should occur Vettel actually in the foreseeable future, it would be especially for RTL, but also for other media, the reports in this country about formula 1, is a setback.

“In Germany, the formula 1 has a place value, and the formula 1 has more significance, if there is a German driver,” says king. “I think, without a German driver in the formula, it is much more difficult and the ranges are likely to decrease. But still it is not ready.”

Michael-Schumacher-years, “we will not achieve even with Mick”

“The Schumacher-times, times were different then”, he revels in memories. “We will not achieve the coverage. Not even with Mick Schumacher. Of course, Mick is a popular figure, a bearer of hope. The Name Schumacher pulls in and has a special sound, especially in Germany.”

“But I am not sure if the boys are due to Mick Schumacher to formula 1, or whether it’s the Michael-Schumacher-are more Fans who find their way back. We must all wait and see,” said king. “But of course, the Name Mick Schumacher has awaken a sound, the fantasies […].”
