Is he actually any good or just riding on the Schumacher name? Wasn't Ralf a bit pants in comparison to Michael?

Yeah, he's good. Only time will tell, but F3 champion last year, and high standings in Karting and F4. He used different names up until recently so he could try and avoid some of the hype - which IMO is one indication of someone who wants to earn it, not be gifted. This was always something that looked likely, but it's good to see it confirmed. Ah, the 2023 lineup, Mick Schumacher and an experienced Charles Leclerc, that will overload the Tifosi.Is he actually any good or just riding on the Schumacher name?

Agree. I understand that Schumacher still had to race his balls off to win so I can't take anything away from him as a driver but he did have the biggest advantage of anyone in the history of F1 which obviously goes hand in hand with how much he won. Older drivers like Ed who didn't win much always say the drivers of their era were the best, because they think that makes them look better or something.I thought it was funny the way he dismissed Lewis for "being in the best car", and then holding up Michael despite him driving at a time when ferrari wrote the rule book, ran F1, used bespoke tyres, fuel, etc. which nobody else had access to, with unlimited testing and all the rest
I think someone else already said it, it's pointless trying to compare drivers of different eras. Jim Clark, Prost, Senna, Michael, Vettel, Lewis, Alonso - they have all had their ups and downs. But they're all up there.
I think he was right about this part though. We have possibly the greatest lineup ever - Lewis, Vettel, Ricciardo, Alonso, Max, and now the likes of Leclerk and Ocon knocking on the door. Yet the racing is the worst it's ever been. Just look at Formula E and the giant leap they've taken to improve the spectacle. Their races this year have been brilliant. F1 is a dinosaur in comparison.
Fuels a bit lighter than water, so be less than 1kg for 1L, don’t know how much tho1kg fuel = 1litre right? Surely itll be quicker to lift and cost than carry the extra 5kg? Especially at the start when the cars are heavy...
