“Mercedes not out of the woods; Ferrari need patience, it took Michael Schumacher years…”

The seven-time F1 champion spent three years at Ferrari before fina🍃lly claiming his first title with the famous team, and beginn♐ing his iconic run of five championships in a row.
Today, Ferrari are s♚til🌱l waiting to crown their first champion since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.
“Me💫rcedes' weakness was actually Ferrari's chance in the fight for second place in the constructors' championship,” Ralf Schumacher wrote for Sky.

“But Ferrari didn't have a good we꧋ekend either [at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix]. ꦫ;
“Ferrari has always been a bit of a problem c♓hild.
“Fred Vasseur💎 can't turn the entire store inside out within six or seven months.
“This also took a few years for Michael, Ross Brawn and Jean Todt. At Fer🔥rari you need patience.”
Charles Lec♛lerc crashed out of the grand prix on the warm-up lap due to a technical issue, the latest in a series of mishaps for Fer🍎rari over the past few years.
However, through Carlos Sainz, they 🐻remain the only team to have won🦄 a grand prix apart from Red Bull this year.
'This worries Toto Wolff...'

Schu🥂macher said: “Mercedes were very weak [in Brazil] .
“Afterwards, Toto Wolff was almost shocke💞d at the Sky microphone.
“The pr🍨oblems can be explained by n🐠ot understanding the concept.
“There was greater hope in Brazil, b🃏ut everyone involved was disappointed.
“Theref🍰ore, I fear that Mercedes is not out of the woods yet. This worries Toto W🦹olff.”
'Not a fan of comparing Verstappen to my brother'
"Max Verstappen races from victory to victory, continues to write history and simply d📖oesn't make any mistakes in Brazil," Schumacher added.
"However, I'm not a fan of always drawing comparisons with my brother or Ayrton Senna. They were exceptional in their time. That’s Verstappen now too. It's🍨 incredible how he does it.
"If you compare his perfౠormance with his🧔 teammate Sergio Perez, there was once again a big difference in the race.
"Lando Norris has become the number one pursuer. But he still makes too many mistakes, especially in ♎qualifying. Norris reminds me a bit of Charles Leclerc. However, Norr🅷is does a great job in the race. Norris' problem is that he wants too much in qualifying. Then he overshoots and makes too many mistakes.
"Aston Martin was very strong in Brazil, with both drivers. At the beginning of the season they tried a l❀ot, but things went a bit in the wrong direction. We have now gotten the best out of all this data. I'm happy for Aston Martin. Of course there is still a way to♎ go, but it was a good performance from Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll."
