Mick Schumacher’s performances receive special attention from the press and fans. So far the results have not lived up to expectations, the German often has accidents, but the head of the Mercedes team believes that Mick should be given time and the opportunity to work calmly.
Toto Wolff: “Mick is a smart kid and a good racer. You just have to let him fly as he pleases, as his instinct tells him.
Public criticism is definitely the wrong way. It’s not worth saying all the time that he can’t have an accident – this only increases the pressure. I would have done the opposite by telling him, “Drive, attack as best you can.” In my opinion, Haas F1 is far from the budget cap. The team needs to show Mick that they trust him completely, and then he will surely be able to handle it.
Mike must be left alone. This is his life, his career, his car. He does his job. He is not allowed to read media publications and pay attention to criticism. You have to work with engineers and do your job. If the race ends in retirement or an accident, that’s okay. Mick is still studying, he is only spending his second season in Formula 1, but the pressure is already too great. Obviously it doesn’t help.”
