Speaking to F1Insider, Tost was asked about his views on Ralf Schumacher, Michael Schumacher’s brother that raced in F1 from 1997 to 2007, to which the first thing the AlphaTauri boss said:
Ralf Schumacher made his debut in F1 with Jordan in 1997, and was part of the iconic partnership between BMW and Williams. Michael Schumacher’s brother was able to win as many as six races in his career, with a career-best of 4th place finishes in 2001 and 2002. Compare that to the seven world titles for Michael Schumacher, and these numbers pale in comparison. Ralf could never reach the heights his brother’s career reached.
Further expanding on his experience with Ralf, Tost added that Michael Schumacher’s brother was extremely fast and incredibly talented. He was a quick learner that adapted quickly, and that was one of his trademarks. Tost said:
Michael Schumacher’s brother was very sensitive to the car very early in his career
Franz Tost also spoke of the incident where Ralf was testing for McLaren-Mercedes and was quick to judge that the Goodyear tires were not as good as the Bridgestones; which could pose a challenge if the Japanese company ventured into F1. Tost said:
Ralf Schumacher is an active member of the paddock these days, as he works with SkyGermany as an F1 pundit.
