Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 28, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted September 28, 2018 Quote Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner has chastised Dan Ticktum for "engaging mouth before brain" after the young driver's comments on European F3 title rival Mick Schumacher's recent form. Ticktum, who is part of the Red Bull Junior Team, has featured right at the sharp end of the F3 championship battle all throughout his rookie season but looks set to miss out on the title to Schumacher. The German racer, son of seven-time F1 champion Michael, was eighth in the standings halfway into the campaign, but a remarkable turnaround in performances – which included five wins in the last six races – has left him 39 points clear of Ticktum ahead of the final round. The Red Bull protege caused a stir on social media earlier this week by questioning the “interesting” improvements from Schumacher and his Ferrari-backed Prema teammate Robert Shwartzman, and suggesting that he was losing the F3 title because his “last name is not Schumacher”. Asked about Ticktum on Friday during the Russian Grand Prix weekend, Horner told Sky Sports: “He's a character, he sometimes engages mouth before brain. “He's a talented driver, but you know, he's got more development to do before he's anywhere near Formula 1 level. “He's fast, but he just needs to polish off a few rough edges.” Red Bull is yet to firm up the 2019 line-up of its F1 B-team Toro Rosso, and its motorsport advisor Helmut Marko had told Motorsport.com earlier this year that Ticktum would be ready for an F1 shot next season. However, even if the 19-year-old pulls off an upset in the Hockenheim F3 finale and snatches the title, he would not pass the 40-point threshold required for an F1 superlicence. Schumacher, on the contrary, is already assured of qualifying for a superlicence, and F1 teams have been credited with an interest in the German, although he is widely expected to remain on the junior ladder next year with a switch to Formula 2. “In Formula 3 Mick Schumacher is doing a great job,” Horner said when queried about him by Sky. “He's been particularly dominant, they've obviously got it together the second half of the season, and he's been the man to beat.” Podium: Race winner Mick Schumacher, PREMA Theodore Racing Dallara F317 - Mercedes-Benz Photo by: FIA F3 / Suer https://www.motorsport.com/eurof3/news/red-bull-scolds-ticktum-after-schumacher-comments/3184778/ Wonder how Ticktum reacts to these comments now. Will he accuse Horner of being a nobody and will his girlfriend question his dick size?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted October 12, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted October 12, 2018 Last and title deciding F3 round is upon us! Not the best Race 1 qualifying for Mick (P7); he's still ahead of Ticktum who's P9. Armstrong in P6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch Super GT regularly, and Ukyo has his own team there which won last championship as well, but they have never mentioned any of his family racing in F3... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,616 Posted October 18, 2018 Moderator Share Posted October 18, 2018 Holy shit, did they analyze that crash afterwards? I guess they did just both brake too late in the heat of the moment? And in the 2nd video, it really made me laugh when the door of the #11 car just flew off when the driver opened it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still fun to watch though As for the F3 crash: nah I don't think they really investigated it; both drivers went too fast into the corner and lost control under breaking... Imagine how heartbreaking it must have been haha. Habsburg was actually crying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted November 16, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 16, 2018 Not a great qualifying for Mick... Two costly mistakes in second session today and a combined P9 for the qualifying race tomorrow... Expect a lot of accidents so it's unpredictable anyway. Credit to Ticktum; he did what he had to do and has a deserved pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted November 17, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 17, 2018 So the results of the qualifying race see Ticktum in P1 for the main race tomorrow, with Eriksson and Ilott behind him. Mick managed to climb to P6. Let's see what the race brings tomorrow; it's always good for some drama. At any case, it looks like Motopark look good on the track with Prema being slightly disappointing. The best part of the quali race was how they sent the safety car because there was a dog on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
