Live matches football Mattia Binotto on Sauber`s refusal from Schumacher: Wolff should also be asked why he signed Antonelli and not Mick
Binotto explained why Schumacher did not get a seat at Sauber. The head of the Audi program in Formula 1 (until the end of the 2025 season - Sauber) answered the question of why the team invited Formula 2 leader Gabriel Bortoleto, and not Mercedes reserve driver Mick Schumacher.
We had various negotiations, and he was certainly a strong candidate. I know him well from past experience, I know his strengths and perhaps his weaknesses, but I definitely think that he would be a good choice. There were many candidates.
Sometimes you have to make a decision and I don`t think there was any [specific] reason. We just chose Gabi.
Toto [Wolff] also needs to be asked why he signed Kimi [Antonelli] and not Mick. Sometimes you have to choose. We made the decision to hire Gabriel and we are pleased, " Mattia said.
