Mick Schumacher will in time become a “good driver” but Marc Surer doubts a World title awaits Michael Schumacher’s son.

“That was also his strength in the lower formulas,” says Surer, adding that “in the end he won races and the championship. And that’s how I see it now.”
“At the beginning he had a huge gap to Magnussen. He had more experience, knew the team. That was of course an unfair comparison.
“But he has worked it out now, is…
