Conspiracy theory about Schumacher's F3 title denied by former team boss
- GPblog.com
Mick Schumacher had an extraordinary Formula 3 season in 2018. The year started dramatically, but after the summer break, the young German suddenly scored eight wins in twelve races. Some thought about a conspiracy theory about two and a half years ago, but former team boss Rene Rosin doesn't want to know about that.
Schumacher ended the season with 365 points, but the sudden progress is remarkable. The number two of the championship that year, Daniel Ticktum, did not hide his doubts in a social message which he later deleted. He openly questioned how Schumacher could have improved so much. In the first 14 races the son of Michael only finished third twice.
No protest
Rosin maintains that Prema has always coloured neatly within the lines. "Those comments were not appropriate. If someone questioned the legality of the car or the engine, they could have protested about anything. But nobody did," said the Italian about the alleged cheating in conversation with GP Racing.
According to Rosin, it simply has to do with the fact that Schumacher improved himself tremendously in the second half of 2018. "He was always fighting for the top positions, but then never brought the result he needed. We said to him 'Mick, just do it race after race, don't think about the championship - if you think about the championship, it gets harder'. We won the title because Mick and the team did a great job."
