Ralf Schumacher calls Williams’ decision to ignore Mick Schumacher “absurd”
Se🧸cond F1 team comes under fire from Ralf Sওchumacher

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher has taken aim at another F1 team for overlooking his nಌephew Mick Schumacher in their pursuit for a new driver.
Having criticised Alpine for ignoring Mick,𓂃 Ralf has now qu🐻estioned Williams.
Williams have axed Logan Sargeant for the final nin𝓰e races of 2024 and replaced him with Franco 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 programme,” former Williams F1 driver Ralf was quoted by .
“But I think it is absurd and not sensible from a pe൩rformance point of🌊 view.
"I think the risk for the rac🌌ing 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 two ღyears rebuilding in an attempt to return to F1.
He has acted as Mercedes’ third driver for two years, and Toto Wolff backed him to claim the temporary Williams drive a🍌fter Sargeant’s struggles last weekend.
But Williams boss James Vowles looked beyo🌌nd Schumacher - and Red Bull reserve🏅 Liam Lawson - to select an option from within.
It is the second setback for Mick Sch🐽umacher in a matter of days.
Last we🔯ek, Alpine confirmed that they would promote rookie Jack Doohan into the 2025 race seat vacated by Esteban Ocon.
Mick has represented Alpine this year in the Worlꦜd Endurance Championship.
Mick and Doohan both tested 𒊎Alpine F1 cars - but Doohan got the nod to step onto the grid full-time next season.
Mick insisted he🌃 learned the bad news via Instagram and his uncle Ralf reacted “this is no way at all”.

James was a sports journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American spor♍ts, to footballไ, to F1.
