Ralf Schumacher calls Williams’ decision to ignore Mick Schumacher “absurd”
Second F1 team c🎉ome🌠s under fire from Ralf Schumacher

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ralf Schumacher has taken aim at another F1 team for overlooking his nep𝐆hew Mick Schumacher in their pursuit for a new driver.
Having criticis🍌ed Alpine for ignoring Mick, Ralf has now questioned Williams.
Williams have axed Logan Sargeant for the final nine races of 2024 and replaced him with Fr🦩anco Colapinto, whose F1 debut is at this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.
“You can perhaps respect this decision because Colapinto is a driver from Williams' youth development pro๊gramme,” former Williams F1 driver Ralf was 🧜quoted by .
“But I think it is absurd and not sensible from a performance p൩oint of view.
"I think the𝓡 risk for the racing team and also for the driver is much, much higher than if they had put someone with experience like Mick in.”
Mick lost his Haas seat at the end of 2022 and has spent twꦜo years rebuilding in an attem🅺pt to return to F1.
He has act൩ed as Mer✃cedes’ third driver for two years, and Toto Wolff backed him to claim the temporary Williams drive after Sargeant’s struggles last weekend.
But Williams boss J🌳ames V🅷owles looked beyond Schumacher - and Red Bull reserve Liam Lawson - to select an option from within.
It is t🏅he second setback for Mick Schuma💖cher in a matter of days.
Last week, Alpine confiꦛrmed that they would promote rookie Jack Doohan into the 2025 race seat vacated by Esteban Ocon.
Mick has represented Alpine this year in the World E🦩ndurance Championship.
Mick and Doohan both tested Alpine F1 cars - but Doohan got the nod to step onto the gri🧸d full-time next season.
Mick insisted he learned the bad news via Instagram and his uncle Ralf reacted “this is no wa🐲y at all”.
