Ferrari “must” prioritise preparations for the 2022 season, the Maranello team’s former highly-successful technical boss Ross Brawn insists. After Michael Schumacher moved from Benetton to Ferrari in 1996, Brawn joined him a year later and as technical director oversaw the F1 legend’s run of five titles between 2000 and 2004. But former Mercedes boss Norbert Haug denied that Schumacher was pushed out of the team by Lewis Hamilton, arguing that the famous German could have won titles in 2014 and beyond. “No, he wasn’t,” Haug told Sport1 when asked if Schumacher’s was a forced final retirement. I think he could even have won more titles,” he said.
