The German press has been circulating rumors that disagreements between Mick Schumacher and the Haas F1 team are escalating, with Sky Deutschland in particular taking this position, but Gunther Steiner is prepared to refute it.
According to the specialist automotive publication Auto Motor und Sport, this is the case where the phrase “Much Ado About Nothing” fits. Reportedly, the young German racer is disadvantaged, Steiner does not support the seven-time world champion’s son and was in an unfavorable position. As a result, Mick still has no points in his account and he was under a lot of pressure after the accidents in Saudi Arabia and Monaco.
“I’m not going to be the scapegoat for Mick’s season that doesn’t go as planned,” said Steiner. Yes, he doesn’t have glasses, that’s a fact. He also had two accidents. No team will like it. But to say that we are lagging or putting extra pressure on Mick is nonsense.
The team will never intentionally deprive their riders of the chance of success. The best thing for us is if Mick earns points. Personally, I have no problem with Mick, but he must understand that Formula 1 is a sport where the rivalry is very high and results are expected from the riders. If I put a friendly hand on the shoulder of one of my pilots, he won’t go faster for half a second.
It is clear that two accidents can affect the rider’s confidence in himself and his. It’s also clear that Baku is one of those circuits where another problem could easily arise, but Montreal is no better in this regard. In Azerbaijan, Mick tried to avoid incidents and certainly make it to the finish, and this was already a step forward.
Mick needs to stay calm, control himself, but trying to influence the situation from the outside won’t do him any good. And I won’t allow our team to be destabilized because of a problem that actually doesn’t exist at all.
