Editorial Network Germany (RND) presented this thesis to former Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Hogg – and four others. The 69-year-old, who accompanied the careers of seven-time (record) world champions Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher from the beginning, supported both from a junior age and worked successfully with them as the game’s flagship, also on Sebastian Vettel. Comment on environmental activities. The four-time world champion has been particularly notable for his environmental protests this season. In addition, Hogg comments on the intervention set by the FIA on jumping F1 cars.
Thesis One: That Fi Interferes when cars bounce, Was overdue but could have changed the balance of power in the wrong way.
Hug: “Here, a differentiated approach and decision-making is absolutely necessary: if the wording of the rules is the basis for extreme and extremely driver-rude driving behavior, then Fi will have to intervene. However, as things currently stand, it looks different. , that is, it is up to the abilities of the teams to come up with their own creative measures to eliminate this undesirable driving behavior.”

Thesis Two: To beat Max Verstappen on the track, you need more than just a fast car.
Hug: “One fast car is not enough to win regularly, as the many peers of many winning drivers have shown in Formula 1 existence. Verstappen is certainly an exceptional driver, and may have lived up to his potential. What happens if he drives the best car in the field, as Lewis Hamilton and even Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher have performed over the years: one win after another and one after another win a title.
Thesis three: With its recent environmental protests Sebastian Vettel walks a fine line as the figurehead of an oil-burning racing series.
Hug: “It is his spirit and obviously a goal to which he has devoted himself with conviction. He has certainly kept in mind that he will not only get accolades for it, and Vettel also confirms. is, as is well known, that he perceives those who see him as a hypocrite. I prefer the realistic overall approach: while 20 cars, as you say, “burn the oil”, 200 million The cars are parked in parking bays or garages and none of them burn because their owners are watching Formula 1 on television or on their equipment. As I understand Vettel’s message, it is not against Formula 1 , which is already committed to climate neutrality by 2030. Unfortunately, many of the more critical areas of climate pollution will not be able to do so until then.”

Thesis four: The fact that early penalties can happen already in the ninth Grand Prix of the year because a team has used too many components – like Ferrari with Charles Leclerc in Canada – is destroying the game.
Hug: “Obvious: No. How you feel about these penalties is one thing, but so far they have never destroyed the game. Rather, those interested will experience an exciting season with lots of surprises Formula 1 manufacturers, whether in terms of regulations or marketing, have undoubtedly done a lot right for the current season. And if you like harsh criticism, you should be equally happy to praise when there is no one for it. be the reason.”
Thesis five: If Mercedes gets a jump in control at the upcoming race at Silverstone (July 3), recently in Montreal, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton could fight for victory.
Hug: “That would make me very happy.”
