Schumacher ignores poor loser Ticktum

Mick Schumacher dismissed the controversial comments from his European F3 rival Dan Ticktum, who sought to undermine the German driver's recent achievements and five-race winning streak. "I do not listen to something like that. The car is terrific to drive. We’ve evolved as a team, while others may have stopped at one point," the 18-year-old told Speedweek. "I wish him good luck that he stays in the title fight. But I focus on myself, that’s my key. "Everyone evolves during the year. We never stop working and learning. After my win at Spa, it was not easy, but we managed to be consistent, especially in qualifying, with good lap times." The son of F1 legend Michael Schumacher also had a few thankful words for Ferrari's Maurizio Arrivabene. "It's nice to see that my performance is recognised, and if it's by a team like Ferrari, that's very nice. But to just be mentioned generally in the world of Formula 1 is positive," he said.
