Formula 2: Schumacher third twice in Budapest

The Prema driver also celebrated his first victory - his only podium finish in the Formula 1 substructure until the weekend - in Hungary: a year ago, Michael Schumacher's son won Sunday's race. Victory in the 28-lap sprint went to the Italian Luca Ghiotto (Hitech), who was one of only two drivers who decided not to change tires and managed to cross the finish line ahead of the Briton Callum Ilott (Uni-Virtuosi) and Schumacher with heavily degrading tires. “It was difficult to start on a wet track. We kept the tires alive. The car was fantastic, these are really good points again,” said Schumacher. The German, who started from sixth place, showed several sparkling clean overtaking maneuvers, but the 21-year-old was once again unlucky: During the pit stop, his crew had some problems with attaching the right front tire, which is why Schumacher had to pass on the Swiss Louis Deletraz a second time on the track fight past. Fourth place overall On Saturday, Schumacher also managed to break free with third place after some bad luck at the start of the season. His teammate Robert Schwarzman (Russia), like Schumacher a member of the Ferrari Academy, and his compatriot Nikita Masepin (Hitech) were faster. Schumacher definitely had a chance of winning. But Schwarzman, who started from eleventh place, waited a long time for the first pit stop and therefore had significantly better tires in the final phase of the race. Schwarzman passed with six laps to go, and on the last lap the German also had to let Masepin, who had also put on fresher tires, go. In the overall standings, Schwarzman leads with 81 points after six races, while Schumacher (39) improved to fourth place.
