Ralf Schumacher warns Cadillac about perils of choosing an American F1 driver
Ralf S🗹chumacher has his say on the two ꦅextra race seats in 2026

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher has suggested General Motors and Cadillac select an experienced F1 driver for their proposed entry.
Cadillac, backed by General Motors, have an agreement with F1 and the FIA to become the 11th team on the grid from ꦗ2026.
Attenti꧑on has swiftly turned to the two extra race seats available, and whi𓄧ch drivers might benefit.
Cadillac would be only the second US team, after Haas𒅌, and might fancy an American presence in their cockpit.
"I'm pretty sur𒈔e that they will rely on Amer🐼ican talent,” ex-F1 driver Schumacher told .
“On the other hand, to be fair, the IndyCar level is not the Formula 1 level. We have seen this during numero༒us test drives.
꧅“But that doesn't mean that there is some super talent slumbering there that no one has y𝔍et found.”
He was inevitab♑ly asked about his nephew Mick Schumacher.
“I assume that they will get a known s💦ize to have a clue,” Ralf suggested.
“You start from scratch with everythin🅘g and that will be damn difficult.
“T✤hat's why you have to have someone who you know can do it and you can rely on him."
Mick lost his Haas drive at the end of 2022 and has failed to earn a comeback to Formula 1 ever 🍌since.
He remains a Mercedes reserve driᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚver but hope of a return in 2025, with either Sauber, Williams or Alpine, quickly vanished.
Mick will be among countless drivers intrigued by the addition of two extಞra race seats to the 2026 grid.
His uncle Ralf believes the new F1 projec🔴t can eventually make an i🏅mpact.
"Of𒅌 course, it will take a while, althoug💟h General Motors is a giant corporation and what they tackle will work in the end,” Ralf said.
“It꧅ is important for Formula 1, because it is another sign that such a global player wants to enter Formula 1.
“Formula 1 is still on a growth path now. This is incr⛎edible. Then we'll have eleven teams and I'm looking forward to it because there's another one and, above all, two places for new, young drivers.
“We know how difficult itཧ is with 20 cars. Now we have ten percent more♏ at our disposal."
