RALF SCHUMACHER: MERCEDES could leave FORMULA 1

Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher does not rule out the exit of the Daimler concern from the royal class of motorsport, but he hopes for the head of the concern Ole Källenius.

Concern Daimler z Ola Källenius at the helm in a coronavirus crisis must decide whether continued engagement in Formula 1 after the end of the season 2020 still makes sense. Their departure, for example, has already been announced Eddie jordan.

Departure silver arrows from Formula 1 does not exclude either Ralf Schumacher, a former racer Formula 1 and today an expert commentator on German television Sky. "I believe this possibility exists,”He said in an interview with the newspaper BILDwhen he was addressed about whether someone could factory team like Mercedes, left due to the coronavirus crisis after the end of this season Formula 1. "

Ralf Schumacher points out that the possibility of the Mercedes team leaving Formula 1 after the end of this season certainly exists, but he hopes that this will not happen.

We had this once with a BMW more than ten years ago. The possibility always exists.“To stay in the royal class of motorsport speaks for itself Ralph the fact that "the new head of the concern, Ola Källeniuis, is basically in favor of motorsport. Given the success of the past years, Formula 1 for Mercedes continues to be imaginable. Probably their first step will not be to exit, ”So a former racer Williams in Toyota.

The former Formula 1 racer cites the example of BMW, which left Formula 1 more than a decade ago, also because of the crisis.

An interesting situation of Toto Wolff

On the other hand, it is for Ralph very interesting situation with Toto Wolff. Contract with the boss Mercedes team expires at the end of this year. Meanwhile, he made an investment at Aston Martin and though Wolff emphasizes that it is only pure personal investment and has nothing to do with his engagement in Mercedes, unfortunately he fails to calm the rumors and speculation. “We'll see if he even returns to the Mercedes control panel after the announcement of the investment at Aston Martin,”Speculates Schumacher. "If cracks creep into the Mercedes due to internal problems, then we can expect with tension whether they will be able to keep their shape. This, too, is one of the tense topics we will probably face again."

For Ralph, however, the situation of Toto Wolff, who recently made an investment at Aston Martin, is very strange. Although the Austrian sees no problem in this, Ralf, for example, wonders if we will even see him behind the silver arrow command post.

Toto wolff so your investments at Aston Martin he does not want to overestimate. That his investment goes very well in hand with Mercedes. "We will supply our engines to the new Formula 1 Aston Martin team, we are doing the same in the road program, as their sports cars have Mercedes engines. In addition, Daimler owns five percent of Aston Martin,”He said recently in an interview with an Austrian newspaper Austria.
