For AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost, Haas “rookie” Mick Schumacher has the best facilities to also be successful in Formula 1. “Mick is not the type of driver who gets into a car and immediately risks everything. He takes it step by step and makes sure that he has everything under control in order to then strike properly,” the Tyrolean recently explained in the specialist magazine “Auto” “Motor und Sport” when asked about the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher.
Tost had already accompanied the beginning of the career of the future four-time champion Sebastian Vettel at Toro Rosso and also followed Mick Schumacher's beginnings in karting. In the only 20-year-old Japanese Yuki Tsunoda, AlphaTauri now again has a promising talent in the motorsport premier class. According to Tost, only heart is not enough for a successful career. It also takes a brain.
“I could of course get brutal again and say: You can't make a tiger out of a cow. In the end, it always depends on how much brain a driver has and then turns on in the cockpit,” said the 65-year-old and revealed one Teaching: “In my long time in motorsport, I have found that in the end only those drivers who are intelligent and know why they are doing something – and who also behave appropriately – will win.
