Walter Röhrl celebrated great successes as a rally driver in the 70s and 80s. The 75-year-old comments on the two German drivers Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, who are not at the top in Formula 1. Röhrl hopes that the knot will soon burst at Schumacher.
In an interview with “Welt”, Röhrl talks about the two German Formula 1 drivers Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel and their current form and future prospects.

The fact that Schumacher is still without a point this season is something Röhrl also believes in about his teammate Kevin Magnussen: “Kevin Magnussen has him well under control. That puts additional pressure on him, brings explosiveness to the team and doesn’t make it any easier.”
This increases the pressure on Schumacher from race to race. So much so that he has already had two major accidents this season, costing the team “a lot of money”. In addition, Mick simply has an incredibly difficult time with the name Schumacher, because: “He carries an incredible burden with his father’s name and his great successes. It looks like he doesn’t have the outstanding talent that his father did. “
As a result, there would be an expectation that Mick would also have to be the big star. Röhrl believes that he “may have sleepless nights” because of this fact. The 75-year-old hopes that “the knot will burst” at Schumacher in the near future and the first points will be scored.
For that, Mick needs “sometimes luck and the right circumstances”. The 23-year-old simply had to get through the phase of failure.
Röhrl also commented on the second German Formula 1 driver Sebastian Vettel. However, according to Röhrl, in recent years Vettel has been hearing more about climate protection than about his sporting achievements. “I used to wonder what happened to him. But when I think about it after 15 years in motorsport and now I think I’m an environmental polluter, then I have to stop, that’s that!” explains Röhrl
According to newspaper reports, Liverpool FC has rejected an offer from FC Bayern Munich for top star Sadio Mané (30). Apparently it was too low.
Meanwhile, there is no end in sight to the tug-of-war between FC Bayern Munich and top striker Robert Lewandowski. Now teammate Thomas Müller is clearly positioning himself for a change of the world footballer.
Ex-FC Bayern President Uli Hoeneß (70) insists on contract fulfillment by Robert Lewandowski (33). He is even calm about legal tricks.
