Bruno Michel: “Schumi, a privilege”

Michael Schumacher will be, from Tuesday to Thursday, in Jerez, in order to accumulate the kilometers behind the wheel of a GP2 Series car. If the German pilot finds it of interest in being able to start preparing for his return to Formula 1, the organizers are also doing a nice media stunt to shine the spotlight on the discipline. And, despite the fact that he is not a connoisseur of car used in GP2, it is indeed at a development session in which Michael Schumacher will participate.

Far from being choosy, Bruno Michel, promoter of the discipline, is happy to see the much-publicized Michael Schumacher take his place in a GP2 seat. “ It is an honor and privilege for us to have seven-time Formula World Champion Michael Schumacher to help us develop our car. The aim of the GP2 Series is to prepare young drivers for Formula 1. »

Even without being a specialist in GP2 Series cars, Michael Schumacher will, according to Bruno Michel, help in the development of the car which will replace the current single-seater in 2011. " Michael's contribution and advice will be invaluable to us, confirms the boss of the discipline. I am convinced that his skills and unrivaled driving knowledge will help us develop a very good car for next season. »
