Bernie Ecclestone sends advice to Mick Schumacher

After filling the role of third driver for Mercedes during 2023, Mick Schumacher, also complicit in his failure to find an agreement with any F1 team to return to the grid, has decided to race in the WEC as an official driver behind the wheel of the Alpine, hoping to revive his young career. On the son of art, in the course of an intervention to "RTL", former F1 president Bernie Ecclestone è bluntly expressed himself about his experience in the Haas team. In addition, the 93-year-old wanted to send valuable advice to the young driver with a view to the future.

"I think in Haas he was treated very unfairly. At Red Bull, for example, he would have been better understood, they would have helped him and he would have had the right time to grow and get to the top. Now he must not put himself down, he must continue to fight and prove that è he is still capable of delivering good performance" began the'former F1 boss.

"At best, people will see him and say 'We need him' and not the other way around, which is that he will look for someone to take him by his name. He should forget about his heavy last name and focus only on growing as a person and as a driver. I hope his performance in the WEC can make F1 teams reconsider and convince them to give him another chance'" added Bernie Ecclestone.
