  • For context: Ralf Schumacher is being paid by Auto1 Group who operate used car sale platforms around Europe. He has a personal interest to promote fossil fuel cars that make up the vast majority of used car sales. He’s not impartial.

    • He also was a formula 1 driver that has a perspective on what the sport used to be like and is giving his opinion which, mind you is framing what the current drivers are also saying with some more context beyond it’s not “fun”, point is there’s no underlying secret plan here, no more than the one he mentions from F1 itself which is to make the sport have more money by having more constructors.

    • Shouldn’t a used car sale platform be pretty indifferent about fossil fuels vs electric? Whatever cars are built and sold new today, electric or not, will be the used cars of tomorrow.

      • Not if rising fuel costs make the customers go for the alternative and all the ICE cars gather rust.

    • He was the Lance Stroll of his era. Once famously knocked out his own brother.
