The 2021 season is the season of the battle between Lewis Hamilton on Max Verstappen. A battle that looks set to continue until the final race in Abu Dhabi. Until then, it’s all about enjoying yourself, something that Ralf Schumacher does to the fullest.
In conversation with Speedweek.com the German says that he has mainly seen an unlucky Max Verstappen this season. Bowled innocently off the track in Silverstone, innocent victim of the collision at the start in Hungary, plus the blowout in Baku. Max has been really unlucky, he should have been world champion a long time ago. Max can say to himself in defeat: ‘Well, we were close, it didn’t work out, but I still have enough time for new attempts’. So from my point of view, the pressure will be more on Lewis.”

Ralf Schumacher sees Hamilton lucky
Unlike Verstappen, Hamilton has been very lucky this season, according to Schumacher. “In general, Lewis is often unlucky with bad luck. Even in Imola, where he made a mistake, he ended up finishing second. His talent is undisputed, but I see Hamilton as the luckier driver this year. Max has taken more blows. He He doesn’t have many years left, so he’s desperate for that eighth title. In the end, even he doesn’t know what his car will look like next year when we get this new generation of race cars.”
Schumacher hopes for accidents without accidents
Ralf Schumacher hopes that the final phase of this season will be held without incident. He hopes that the battle can be decided on the track. “I hope that we will have two more races without accidents. There are theories that Max, as the leader, could end up in a crash, but I really hope not. The decision must be made between the two, without outside interference. She must be tough but fair. And who ultimately wins, that remains to be seen.”
