SCHUMACHER WINS EUROPEAN F3 TITLE

WHERE: HOCKENHEIM, GERMANY WHEN: OCTOBER 14 Over the first half of the European Formula 3 season Mick Schumacher took just one win and two other podiums, languishing eighth in the standings and 53 points off the summit. Therefore it’s no wonder eyebrows were raised when he went on to win the championship by 57 points…

The Prema driver was unstoppable in the second half of the year and has now secured an F2 drive. Considering his father is seven- time champion Michael, it’s not surprising that he is already being linked with F1 teams.

Over the first half of the season, Briton Dan Ticktum and New Zealander Marcus Armstrong were evenlymatched at the front of the field. But too many mistakes from Ticktum and a lack of performance from Armstrong enabled Schumacher to pounce. It has given Schumacher’s career impetus after he had been treading water since he was runner-up in the competitive German and Italian F4 series in 2016.
