But the way it happened was unusual.”

Record champion Michael Schumacher agreed with him. “I have to give Sebastian law,” said the seven-time world champion, but did not give his former team Ferrari, but the ban on team orders to blame. “The way how things are implemented because of the rule harms us all.”

Schumacher even had concrete plans of how to implement it wanted, but this does not explain in more detail. “I have an idea, and I will also discuss with certain people,” he said. “But there’s no point now where ideas are trumpeted in 1000 the public.”
