Michael Schumacher "would be fascinated" with new era of F1, says Ross Brawn
2022 presents a whole new era for F1, which managing director Ross Brawn recently revealed would fascinate seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, given the new regulations that are designed to improve competitive racing. This season has seen a significant shake-up in team orders, with Mercedes going from winning eight consecutive championship titles to fighting to make it to Q3 on Saturdays. Lewis Hamilton is certainly one of the drivers who appears to be struggling with their new car, especially when compared to his teammate's performance.
The 62-year-old revealed that Schumacher would thrive in this new era, now that drivers find themselves needing to be more involved in the analysis. During an interview with Sport Bild, Brawn said:
“That would have been right up his alley. He used to be the last person to leave the paddock on Saturday night before the race. He sat with me and the engineers for hours on dates and numbers. He would be fascinated to analyze all this with the engineers. He would be great in this new era. Michael [Schumacher] would love the new Formula 1!”
The German, who raced for 18 full F1 seasons across his iconic career, missed out on the V6 hybrid engines which were introduced two years after he retired for the second time. Lewis Hamilton dominated the turbo-hybrid era, only to lose out on a record-breaking eighth championship title last season to Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
